Getting your head around gas fees on Layer 2 solutions? It's actually pretty straightforward once you break it down.
The computation happening on-chain gets tracked separately from what it costs to bundle that data back to Ethereum's mainnet. Both costs shift in real-time depending on how busy the network gets.
For reference, both Arbitrum One and Nova cap out at 7 million gas per second. That's the throughput ceiling these chains operate under.

A ceiling of 7 million gas/second? What a joke, these project teams rely on just this level of throughput to make a living, and yet they still dare to sell the story of "real scalability" to retail investors.

The gas fees on layer 2 sound simple, but in actual use, it still depends on network congestion, which really changes constantly.

so the throughput ceiling is just another way of saying "we hit the wall and stopped pretending otherwise" yeah?

L2 gas fees actually aren't that mysterious—it's clear once you break them down.

Layer2 gas is basically just like that; to put it simply, it's just split into two parts of cost.
