  Gas fees for Ethereum transactions are determined by a combination of factors. Network congestion is a major factor that affects gas fees. When the Ethereum network is congested, the demand for block space increases, leading to higher fees. Transaction complexity also plays a role in determining the fees. More complex transactions require more computational resources, resulting in higher fees. The gas price set by the user is another important factor. Users can choose to set a higher gas price to incentivize miners to include their transactions in the next block. Lastly, the gas limit set for a transaction affects the fees. Higher gas limits result in higher fees as more computational resources are required. Overall, these factors collectively determine the gas fees for Ethereum transactions.
