While other blockchains have seen their ecosystems diluted by low-quality projects, Ethereum's Layer 1 remains the most credible opportunity for an authentic alt season. The sweet spot of Mainnet's current transaction costs—affordable enough for retail participation, yet expensive enough to filter out speculative noise—creates natural selection. Quality projects and serious developers gravitate here, while vapor chains fade into irrelevance. The resurgence of Ethereum focus marks a potential shift toward substance over hype in the broader market cycle.

ETH gas fees are a natural filter that separates the newcomers from the smart money.

ETH gas fees are indeed high, but this actually filters out the less valuable projects and leaves the truly worthwhile ones.
