Firstly, I am new to web3 so to get into that eco-system I wanted to build something small. One of the pressing issue in web3 especially in ETH is gas fee which is like a transaction fee. For many unknown reasons, gas fee has become ridiculously high for the last few days.
Ex: To make a small transaction you got to shell out anywhere between $30 to $200. (At the time of writing this article it is ~$110)
Gas fee is calculated based on the complexity of the transaction, number of people transacting at the time of your transaction + some other factors.
To help others save $$$ on gas fee I've focused on one problem.
- Majority of the users make transactions on desktop instead of mobile(because the mobile adoption for web3 is not quite there yet), so I've focused to build a desktop app so it is right there on your desktop always
- The app will show the user the ethereum price and gas fee based on the priority.
- To help save money, user can set reminders based on the gas fee. (For instance, if you're comfortable enough to make a transaction on eth when gas fee is 20 Gwei, you can set that value for the reminder)
