Recently tried out XPL, and the performance of this public chain is indeed quite interesting.
Let's start with the most straightforward aspect—the transaction costs. With compatibility on mainstream exchanges, the transfer experience is noticeably different. Taking USDT as an example, the withdrawal fee is only 0.012U, which is a significant difference compared to traditional public chains that often charge several dollars in fees. The speed is also much faster, without the awkward wait of 2-3 minutes for confirmation.
The underlying technical logic is also reasonable. The project itself has support from top institutions like Founders Fund and Tether. Its technical architecture is 100% compatible with EVM, meaning developers can migrate contracts with almost no obstacles, and ecosystem projects can be deployed much faster.
What left the deepest impression is its achievement of truly sub-second transaction confirmation. Coupled with the zero-fee USDT transfer feature, the payment experience is elevated to a high level. Another detail—users can directly pay gas fees using assets like BTC and USDT, without needing to convert to network tokens. Plus, with the native Bitcoin cross-chain bridge, it not only improves usability but also leverages Bitcoin network security for added robustness.
Compared to the current common issues of high transaction fees and slow confirmations for stablecoins, this approach really hits the pain points.

0.012U transaction fee? That's really aggressive, easily surpassing those old chains that charge several dollars. However, I'm a bit skeptical about the sub-millisecond confirmation—can it really be that fast?

0.012U fee? This is the experience I wanted. Finally, someone dares to touch the stablecoin market.

0.012U transaction fee? Really? That's much more aggressive than I imagined. Other chains should have learned from this long ago.

0.012U fee? No way, is this real? I have to try it out.

ngl the subsecond confirmation + native btc bridging architecture here is giving serious "transmutation of settlement layers" energy... that's not just optimization, that's literally protocol alchemy in motion

0.012U fee? Really? That's ten times cheaper than the chain I used before. That's incredible.
