I became a reluctant fan of EtherScan>Ethereum Gas Tracker after realizing that I often couldn't afford to pay gas fees.
Ethereum made a good-move today to appease its users with funny icons for April 1st.
However, the gas charge figures are still as frightening as they used to be. Obviously people don't take the time to joke around, they are still very focused on Ethereum ecosystem.
Currently, other popular blockchains are around 300 tps, despite having reduced the number of nodes to 21, a serious breach of blockchain's decentralization principle. The transaction fees of those blockchains are of course much lower than that of Ethereum, but in the future, as user demand grows, we all hear projects saying they want to serve millions of users, 300tps will be not enough for crypto market. Layer-2 & shardings are still just on theory, we haven't been able to experience them yet, which means we continue to suffer too high transaction fees.
I wish gas on EtherScan was just a joke on April 1st.
Do you think transaction fees will be one of the biggest problems for the crypto community in the future? Is 100k tps enough for market demand?
