Anyone able to shed some light on why gas fees for redeeming rewards are so high? $100 in eth just to redeem rewards from the SC is crazy. Anyone able to explain to a noob why or how to reduce?

Hi @TheFinalPivotBoss  
Gas fees are dependent on the usage of the Ethereum network, so if there is a lot of demand of users trying to make transactions, the transaction fee goes up.  
You can check the price of gas [here](https://etherscan.io/gastracker).  
I hope that helps.
