I’m tired of hearing people talk about “cheap fees.” I only care whether fees are predictable. Ironically, what kills the experience isn’t always a high number, it’s the feeling that tomorrow I won’t know what I’m going to pay.
The problem with most chains is that fees move in lockstep with the token price. When the token pumps, fees swell. When it dumps, the ecosystem contracts, and developers get squeezed from both sides. I once shipped an onboarding flow I thought was tight, then the network heated up for a week, the final step suddenly spiked in cost, users dropped off halfway through, and the product team ended up ripping out screens just to cut gas. That’s when I realized volatile fees aren’t just a cost, they’re uncertainty baked into design.
Compared to token-denominated pricing, VanarChain USD-based fee model, with tiers based on gas consumption, at least creates a clear frame of reference. Low tiers for lightweight actions, higher tiers for state-heavy operations, devs can explain it in product language. More importantly, they can budget for campaigns and incentives without gambling on the chart.
The real value of a tier model isn’t how much it collects, it’s how it forces engineering to stare directly at resource structure. When every action lands in a specific cost bracket, waste becomes visible. Optimization becomes a data-driven choice, not a panic reflex whenever the network gets hot. But the real test still lives in the USD peg layer, the oracle, update latency, and whether it still feels fair when the network is congested.
If @Vanarchain can pull that off, they won’t just lower fees, they’ll lower uncertainty, and for a tired builder, sometimes that alone is enough to keep building.
