Ethereum is fast becoming unpleasant for Defi users. Due to the congestion on the network, transactions are slow. And then recently, its gas fees have shot to a record high. The costs have been on the increase lately. It has gained by approximately 20% between yesterday and today, making the price hit a high of $17.67.

Due to this increase, users on various platforms have been complaining about the spike in fees. This is because the rise affected projects that use the Defi network as the growth has affected these platforms' cost. The cost of estimated gas fees on Ethereum is reportedly surpassing the price of the token Ether.

This has led users to seek alternatives elsewhere on platforms like Dai, Polkadot, and Flamingo. Flamingo finance is built with a priority on being interoperable and governance. Int operability is when Defi solitary platforms can convey information to each other across protocols. This is an issue for the crypto sector and one that Flamingo focuses on addressing.

Some reasons for the new 200% gain in Flamingo price are its just improved governance features, its high trading volume, and its advantage on the Neo blockchain as Defi first-mover.

Ethereum has just got to move from experimental phases to finding permanent situation to escalating fees which are bringing setback to use cases. Polkadot and Flamingo may take Ether's role permanently if care is not taken to address escalating fees in the network.
