Ever wondered why your Meta Mask tx fees feel… higher than expected? 🤔
You’re not imagining it — there’s a subtle dark pattern at play.
💸 Fees now show $ETH first (0.0001 $ETH)
💵 USD value? Smaller, lower, and easy to overlook.
Looks cheap at a glance, but with $ETH at ~$2,400.0… not so much.
Meanwhile:
• Market gas ≈ 2-3 GWEI
• MetaMask suggests 6+ GWEI + 2 GWEI priority
• Even for a ~12s tx!
🔧 You could set:
Max fee: 3 GWEI
Priority: 0.001 GWEI
⚡️ Still fast, still included.
It’s not just a UI tweak — it’s a nudge to overpay.
Stay alert. Customize your gas.
