#Strategy加仓BTC The Ethereum network has announced new developments—Gas fees have dropped below $0.01, which was almost unimaginable during last year's PEPE craze (at one point reaching $50). Interestingly, while fees have significantly decreased, on-chain activity has hit new highs. The same network now has more users and nearly zero costs—this reflects not a decline but a qualitative breakthrough in efficiency. Ethereum's competitiveness at the infrastructure level is quietly emerging.

Gas fees dropped from $50 to $0.01, and this efficiency improvement has indeed silenced many bearish voices. On-chain activity has also hit a new high, indicating that Ethereum's infrastructure competitiveness is still strong.

0.01 dollar gas? Last year during PEPE, it jumped from 50 dollars, the difference is so huge, and activity is still increasing... --- Ethereum is really quietly making a fortune in infrastructure. --- Wait, more users mean cheaper gas, how is that possible... Layer 2 empowerment? --- It's hard to crash now. During PEPE, I paid sky-high gas fees, but now this is really comfortable. --- Breaking through efficiency is correct, but whether the ecosystem can keep up is the key, right?

Even with gas fees dropping to 0.01, people still hype it up. I remember during PEPE, a single transaction cost me 50 bucks in gas. Now, this is what should be normal.

Gas fees dropping to $0.01 is really amazing. When PEPE hit $50 last year, I directly stopped using the chain haha. On-chain activity is still reaching new highs. Now that's true infrastructure dominance.

0.01 dollar gas fee? Come on, last year during PEPE, it was really outrageous. Now this is what normal should look like.

Gas fees dropped from $50 to $0.01, this change is really incredible... But the question is, has the activity really increased, or are there just fewer people being scammed?
