Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has transferred 3,000 ETH, valued at around $8 million, to a multi-signature safe wallet attracting around 0.1 ETH in gas fees (about $270). The reason for the transfer is unknown and speculated to be a donation. When a user questioned the high gas fees on the network, Buterin underscored security over high gas fees. He advocates for wallet security over concerns about Ethereum’s fluctuating gas fees. Despite a recent drop in gas fees, Ethereum’s 2024 fee levels remain high.
