Ethereum just became stupidly cheap to use.
Despite record on-chain activity, $ETH transaction fees fell to ~$0.15 — a quiet but massive scaling win.
This one feels almost unreal if you’ve been around long enough. Ethereum is buzzing with activity — contracts firing, users moving, apps alive — and yet the average transaction costs around $0.15. Not a typo. Fifteen cents.
I still remember the days when a simple swap felt like ordering champagne on a beer budget. Today, thanks to years of relentless work on scaling, rollups, and infrastructure, the chain finally breathes. This is what progress looks like: not flashy, not loud, but deeply effective.
What matters most to me is the signal. Builders stayed. Developers kept shipping through bear markets, memes, and noise. And now the result is visible where it counts — in real usage, at real cost, for real people.
Low fees + high activity is the combo everyone dreamed of back in 2020. It’s not hype, it’s plumbing. And good plumbing changes cities. Franchement, respect. ⚙️🔥
