ETH gas fees have always been a pain point, but the current price level is a good entry point. On the Solana side, transaction costs are even lower, and the speed is much faster. From the consumer perspective, these conditions are much more user-friendly for ordinary users—low cost, high efficiency, which is exactly the key factor driving mainstream adoption. Public chain competition has entered a new stage, and the usability advantages of each chain are gradually transforming into user growth.

ETH-3,09%

SOL-6,28%

Can low cost and high efficiency alone drive mainstream adoption? Let's look at the data to see, this logic needs to be verified.

Gas fees are indeed expensive, but we need to look at the long term. SOL is really attractive.

This wave of SOL really took off; if ETH doesn't optimize soon, it'll be beaten badly.

Solana is indeed great, but don't forget about the ETH ecosystem. Transferring so many people over is not easy. --- Gas fees have been hyped for so long, and they're still ridiculously high. What's the entry point supposed to be? --- Mainstream adoption? That's laughable. Ordinary people are still asking what blockchain is. --- Solana is fast, but I still trust ETH's security more. Speed isn't everything. --- Low cost and high efficiency sound great, but in terms of user experience, both chains still have a long way to go. --- It feels like ETH will ultimately win this round of blockchain wars. Its ecosystem depth can't be matched by Sol. --- Transferring to Solana just to save that little bit of gas fee? Whether it's worth it depends on the individual. --- It's indeed cheaper to enter ETH now, but what if it drops further? Better to wait and see. --- Converting usability advantages into users? First, improve wallet security before boasting. --- Solana is really good, but every time it crashes, I break out in cold sweat.

The SOL ecosystem is really awesome. Gas fees should have been phased out of the history books long ago.

Solana is currently running very fast, but whether it can truly retain users depends on the ecosystem. Don't just look at TPS.

SOL ecosystem is still awesome, ETH gas fees really discourage small retail investors.

SOL this round truly outperforms ETH, low gas fees are really the killer move. ETH is still stubbornly holding on, ordinary people have already moved to Solana. Ultimately, public chains compete on user experience; whoever is cheaper wins.
