Compare BNB Chain fees vs Ethereum
BNB Chain:
Transfer ~$0.002
Swap ~$0.007
Fees are fine, less prone to spikes
ETH L1:
When it’s calm, a few cents
When it’s congested, a few dollars to tens of dollars
ETH L2 (Base, Arbitrum):
Usually about the same price or cheaper than BNB
So comparing L1 to L1, BNB wins on fees.
Compared to ETH L2, there’s no longer a big gap.
