The ETH network has recently made a big move—Pectra upgrade has been scheduled, and the upcoming EIP-4844 data Blob mechanism has caused transaction fees to plummet by 90%. Transaction costs on Layer2 are now ridiculously cheap, only a few thousand dollars per transaction. Developers are thrilled; in the past seven days, the number of new contracts launched on the mainnet has surpassed half a million. Honestly, this doesn't seem like a typical rebound; it looks more like a new cycle's warning light has already turned on. With the ecosystem's enthusiasm at this level, how are your position deployments going?

The cost is directly breaking the bank. I've been having a blast on L2 these days, haha.

Thousands of dollars in transaction fees? Bro, did you type that number wrong? Layer 2 transfers don't cost nearly that much...

90% of the fees are slashed, this is really a positive signal, unlike some projects that boast every day.

Wait, are the fees really this cheap? I need to quickly move my idle funds to L2 and try my luck.

90% of the transaction fee drops, it would be outrageous if you still can't get on board.

90% of the fees plummeting? I haven't even reacted yet, and someone is already making a killing on Layer2.

blobs just flipped the entire fee structure upside down... watched the gwei patterns shift like watching stars realign, and honestly? the mempool hasn't looked this clean in months. 50k+ contracts in a week screams inefficiency correction to me, not just hype cycling through.
