Recently, I've been using different chains for transfers and suddenly realized a problem—most of the time, there's no need to focus only on the top-tier chains. Ethereum's transaction fees are hard to bear for anyone, BSC is cheap but has average speed, and some niche chains focused on performance are quietly getting things done.

One chain's transfer experience is quite comfortable. The speed is so fast that it almost feels like there's no delay, and the key point is that the fees are almost negligible—this is a real lifesaver for people who frequently transfer across chains. My current strategy is: unless I absolutely need to use mainstream chains, I prioritize this one in most cases.

I've heard people say this chain is so-and-so, but honestly, if a project can truly save users money and time, that's enough. As for the rise and fall of token prices, no one can predict that, but from a product perspective, this kind of design that minimizes costs still shows a serious attitude towards doing things right.

Wow, someone finally said it. The transaction fees on Ethereum are really outrageous, BSC is painfully slow, and niche chains are the saviors for the working folks. Honestly, I don't really care about the price fluctuations of any coins. The key is to save money and time with the right chain. These past few months, I've been using small chains for transfers, and the experience is simply amazing—just a few cents per transaction. Yeah, there's no need to follow the trend of top-tier chains; good performance is what really matters.

Honestly, niche chains have indeed been sleeping. The combination of fast and low-cost transactions is simply unbeatable. Transaction fees are the real joke. Ethereum's high prices have discouraged people, and I’m using the same approach that this guy discovered. No hype, no blackening. A chain that saves money and time is a good chain. No matter how the token price is, the experience is the real indicator. Everyone is chasing new tokens, but no one is properly looking at the truly useful chains right here. Small chains are gradually gaining traction. It all depends on who gets on board first; those who miss out will regret it. Frequent cross-chain transfers benefit the most. That’s the real value.

To be honest, niche chains are indeed underestimated. Compared to top chains that charge tens of dollars in fees at any moment, the experience is much worse.

Now everyone is using small chains, at worst using L2.

Really, the ETH transaction fees have long discouraged me, and smaller chains are becoming more and more smooth to use. Nowadays, who still insists on sticking to the top chains? Performance is just performance. Niche chains are indeed fast, with almost free fees. The big players just don't want to admit it. Product strength speaks for itself; everything else is superficial. That’s the true attitude of getting things done. Let's put aside the price fluctuations of the coins first; if something can save money, talking about it is useless. However, liquidity on small chains is really frustrating; you have to figure out ways yourself. Chains with good ecosystems will eventually turn around. Everyone currently laying out is just playing chess.
