Why are eth deployment fees so expensive? The cost seems to appreciate as ETH appreciates in value preventing developers from launching on the network.
Is there a fix for this in ETH 2?
ETH mining fees are super high right now. From what I understand, ETH 2.0 will make mining fees less making token deployment less costly. In the mean time, I would use BSC or another solution to deploy.
Yeah, you are right, the eth deployment fee is a little high.
Actually, the cost of deploying a new contract or execute one function to write data is not only related to the gas limit for this operation, but also to the gas price, that is total cost = gas limit * gas price, so for the gas limit, you can modify the contract code to save gas, for the gas price, if you are not in a hurry, you can use a lower gas price than current average gas price(you can find the current gas price at here: https://www.gasnow.org/ ). As for the eth price, this is totally dominated by market behaviour.
At the ETH2, the aim is to significantly increase TPS, so at that time, you can use a lower gas price, but for gas limit, it still depends on the contract code.
