According to @MilkRoadDaily, Ethereum (ETH) gas fees jumped from roughly 0.20 Gwei to 2.54 Gwei on September 1, 2025, implying about a 1,170 percent spike and signaling a sharp rise in on-chain activity.

For traders, the elevated Gwei level means materially higher transaction costs on Ethereum mainnet versus the usual 0.20 Gwei baseline reported by @MilkRoadDaily, which can influence DEX execution quality and timing during peak load.
