Recently, while testing a new L2 network, a friend shared his recent testnet interaction experience. Speaking of which, these Layer 2 solutions have indeed helped significantly in reducing Gas fees. Compared to the high costs on the mainnet, the testnet experience is much smoother.

He mentioned that the Gas consumption of this L2 is quite good, especially the cost optimization during batch interactions. This also reflects the progress of the current L2 ecosystem in balancing performance and cost—many emerging Layer 2 solutions are working hard to solve on-chain congestion issues.

For users who frequently interact on-chain, L2 is undoubtedly a good choice. However, it also depends on the security audits of specific projects and the maturity of the ecosystem. It seems there will still be more room for innovation in this area moving forward.

Testnet experience is smooth, but dare to go live on the mainnet and use real money for interactions? That's the real test. --- As for gas fees, it mainly depends on whether the project team is reliable. If the audit hasn't passed, don't touch it. --- Batch interactions are really cheap, but the ecosystem is still a bit scattered. It feels like we need to wait a bit longer. --- L2 now is like a newborn baby, with a good outlook but also high risks. --- Friends find testing fun and smooth, but I still prefer to observe a bit more before making a move. --- Honestly, there are very few projects that truly reduce costs; most are just PR.

Testnet is fun, but when it comes to launching on the mainnet, safety audits are still essential. Don't let a vulnerability cause a total failure.

No matter how good the testnet experience is, it all depends on whether the mainnet can stay stable—that's the real test. L2 is still L2; you need to keep a close eye on security audits and don't get rug-pulled and left crying. Gas fees are indeed painful, but who can guarantee these new chains won't become the next failure case? Batch interaction optimization is good, but I'm worried that the ecosystem isn't solid enough and liquidity can't keep up. It's basically a gamble on the future; I just hope my choices aren't too disappointing.

Gas is low, but the ecosystem is still too fragmented. --- Testnet experience is good but not truly environmentally friendly. Let's wait until the official launch. --- To be blunt, L2s are becoming overly competitive. --- Security audits are really important; don't let any surprises happen again. --- Batch interactions are indeed cheap, but I'm worried about bugs causing huge losses someday. --- The gas price on the mainnet is really crazy; even a poor L2 is better than it. --- Ecosystem maturity is the key; we're still a long way to go. --- New L2s are emerging one after another, making this track a bit chaotic.

Gas fees are so cheap that it's a bit overwhelming; there's no going back to the mainnet now.
