Stop thinking of Ethereum as expensive. The real story here is efficiency.

Once you shift that lens, a whole world of possibilities opens up.

What kinds of onchain use cases actually become viable now? Micropayments that weren't economical before. Frequent settlement for derivatives. Real-time supply chain verification. Trustless gaming mechanics with constant state updates. Even modest DeFi interactions that used to eat into margins.

The breakthrough isn't just lower fees—it's about what was never possible before because the economics didn't work. Transaction costs are no longer the bottleneck for innovation.

So what's next? What applications have been waiting on the sidelines for Ethereum to reach this cost threshold?
