The mechanism and background of ERC20 Commission
Well, to be honest, I really think the ERC20 commission on Ethereum is just unreasonable. From my experience, during times of high transaction volume, the fees can soar over 10 times, which is really frustrating.
Ethereum can only process 15 transactions per second. Yet, because millions of people try to use it simultaneously, the network gets congested and it becomes a big problem. To get your transaction through, you end up competing with other people's transactions, and everyone adds a premium to the gas fees saying 'Process it faster!', which ultimately drives the costs up.
I try to use TRC20. The commission is low and transactions are completed almost instantly, which is convenient. But honestly, in terms of security, ERC20 is more reliable. TRC20 is cheap, but the reality is that its security is inferior.
In actual numbers, for ERC20, the commission can be between 10 to 30 USDT, while for TRC20 it is about 1 USDT. Isn't the difference too big? But there are also parts that can't be helped. Ethereum is a pioneer in the blockchain world, so its security is high, but that also comes with costs.
Also, be mindful of the time of day. Late at night or early in the morning tends to have less network congestion, so the commission is often lower. It's a good idea to use a tool like Ethereum Gas Charts to target the optimal timing.
Ultimately, if you're moving large sums of money, ERC20 is the smart choice, while TRC20 is preferable for smaller amounts. Regardless of which you choose, it's important to check the commission in advance. Especially beginners should be cautious not to lose large amounts of money unexpectedly.
