The Scalability Paradox on Ethereum.

Here's something wild: gas fees just dipped below $0.01, yet network activity is hitting all-time highs. That's completely flipped the old playbook.

Remember when the rule was simple—more activity equals more congestion equals higher fees? That logic doesn't hold anymore. Now you've got peak usage coinciding with dirt-cheap transaction costs. What changed?

Layer2 solutions and blob storage broke the link between transaction volume and cost structure. The capacity expanded without proportional cost increases. Volume and fees literally decoupled.

So when people still claim "Ethereum is too expensive," you gotta ask: is that statement even accurate in 2025? The on-chain data says otherwise.
