Today is 7th of August 2022. There is a high chance we will see the Merge occuring in next ~2 months. Base fee on mainnet is 2 gwei, simple ETH transfer will cost you ~0.1$. But better to use Optimism or Arbitrum. Their TVL is $2.24B and $2.62B respectively. Kinda cool that Arbitrum is still first in terms of TVL, considering it still has not launched a token. The flippening ratio at 0.46.
