Legit question — how is gas still this bad on ETH mainnet?
Yeah, L2s exist. Yeah, blob scaling rolled out. But try swapping a token during peak hours — $20+, easy.
Devs are building. EIPs keep dropping. But for everyday DeFi plays, it still feels broken.
Unless you’re on Base, Arbitrum, or some sketchy chain, it’s like being robbed on every transaction.
What’s your go-to low-fee chain rn? I’m rotating between zkSync and Blast.
