Ethereum just flipped the entire cost structure—2021 vibes would've burned you $50 for the same traffic that now costs $0.07. That's not a typo. Seven cents.
We're running DOUBLE the transaction count from 2021 at 1/700th the fee. Back then, fees weren't just painful—they were a hard ceiling. Demand slammed into capacity, gas spiked, users bounced. Growth killed itself every cycle.
Now? Demand's climbing and fees are cratering. That only happens when capacity scales faster than usage can fill it. And before you say "it all moved to L2s"—nope, this is MAINNET at all-time highs.
Predictable cost unlocks real adoption. Cheap cost is the cherry on top. $ETH infrastructure just became usable at scale—and that changes everything for DeFi, NFTs, and onchain activity going forward.
