I despise Ethereum's exorbitant gas fees

Like many of you, I'm experiencing delayed Etherium transactions, as well as high gas prices when the Ethereum network is experiencing a high amount of transactions; for example, the gas fee is about 0.0047 ether or 14.78$ per transfer, and so on.

I was fed up with it all because the problem kept reappearing, so I decided to speak with other Eth owners to investigate the alternatives and solutions and see what would work best for me.

I've heard of a few platforms that offer, among other things, transaction, pricing, and speed benefits, and one of those platforms is Metis, which I intend to try out.

Do you know anything about Metis or have any personal encounter with it?
