Optimism sounds like the best solution for heart-breaking ETH fees. I learnt about network of Avalanche recently, so I enjoyed reading this article cause I'm not out-classed due to lack of technical knowledge.

It brings a good method for solving the problem, yet I don't think it can attract much users out of the Etherium network. If I was a medium ETH person I would definitely be interested in optimism, but as a late comer to blockchain space ETH still has too much of fees that makes me avoid using the network. There's the sale of Finney at Etherium on 18th of September, and I desperately think if I will be able to join it because of the fees.

It is great what Optimistic has been trying to accomplish, and it seems they advanced in bringing a solution, but obviously it is not enough for users like me. I hope they will advance more and improve the current solution.

Thanks for the information, I will be checking Optimistic periodically from now on.

Because of the high ETH fees, I can't enter a world that I could have entered long ago. Such restrictions are frustrating.

I loved Optimism. It's a good start to bring user friendly(!) gas fees to levels that the majority can afford. It's just a beginning because it's not enough. Still, it's nice to see news like this.

I hope people who can't get involved due to ETH fees can hang around freely!

Thanks for the information and article.

Ethereum is currently trying to fix its current problems.

If they are successful, I think they will reach their true potential in the short term.

They have a hardworking team and they think about every detail, so I think this news will come to us late.

Many people want to use the etherium network, but unfortunately I do not use it because of the high fee fees. I think this issue will be removed soon because there are rumors that etherium 2.0 will be released and fee fees will decrease.

Excellent explanation of the benefits of Optimism. It is really interesting to see a project dedicated to ensuring compatibility with L1. The insurance of that compatibility will allow more people to play with L2 cheaper solutions and not risking moving too far away from L1.

I glad to hear that news. I had never heard of Optimism. ETH fees are very popular. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford it. Optimism seems like a good move for this problem. At least it could be a precursor to something. I will definitely follow Optimism.

Thanks for the article!

Etherum. A rich network, as I call it. Opensea is very famous. NFT projects, swap sites. What about fees? It's really scary. If you don't trade more than $ 10k, I think it doesn't make sense.

I've used the eth Network 2 times to this day. I expected Gas prices to fall. But it's impossible because of the NFTS that are popular these days.

You have to pay a fee of $ 200-1000. They need to figure this out immediately. People who want to are using. But a lot of people can't use it because of the fees.

Optimism or pessimism. Whatever his name is. Whatever the project and its content. They urgently need to solve this problem. It's very important for both value and user gain. I hope they do it fast.

Thanks for the article.

Have a nice day.

I was surprised to hear about the fees paid to buy some NFTS. I heard you were given $ 100 fee to buy an NFT worth $ 50.

Me it's too far. I can't pay that much for a transfer. Which takes me away from the ETH. That bothers me. That's why I don't invest in ETH. Why would I do that? I like the units I invest in.

If these fee fees return to normal, of course, I will return to ETH. I think that's the biggest problem with Etherium. If Optimism stabilizes it, I'll admire it. We'll see what happens. I hope we see him here one day.

Imagine a very active network despite so much fee. Imagine that Fee is small.

Thanks for the good article. I'll follow Optimism.

Seems like an important point in eth development.

I hope we will see many similar solutions to avoid eth gas charges. Although optimism may seem a bit complicated to try, it will not be compelling for users who have mastered the logic of the market.

Thank you for your great explanation and information.

These type of solutions can work but add an extra layer of complexity for common users. I wish that in the future all the bridging and L2 solutions become seamless.

Learning more about the L2 solutions is always excellent. One thing I really wonder about is if these L2 solutions become irrelevant when/if L1 fixes the gas issue permanently. Especially for the EVM compatible chains. I wonder what happens when gas on L1 is the pennies like polygon, why would you choose an L2 at that point.
