Interesting article. There is a gas fee to bridge your ETH to Polygon. Once you do, you can buy multiple NFTs on Polygon at zero gas and the purchases are immediate.

We definitely need that $0.05 transaction fee!

It's not ridiculous, I need it. People transfer crypto because it is cheap. And it takes cheapness to maintain it.

Ethereum has been dealing with this problem for a long time. But he couldn't figure it out. Because of this, he may be out of the game. It would be much lower if it were not for opensea and nfts.

Thanks for the article.

Have a nice day.

This article explains why gas fees are extremely scary for new users. There are ongoing L2 work being done for swaps and transfers, but will it be applicable to NFT markets like opensea?

For me it still seems very risky to involve in, even though considering Polygon side lowers the fee in high percentage as Etta mentioned.

Gas fees are big mystery. Tbh, I wasn't expecting these statistics and numbers. While we are aware of this, it is strange to see the facts in this way. Hope something changes! Because it is impossible for users who want to get into it not to worry. Thanks for the article.

0.05 lol, I tried for the first time to list an eth nft on the open sea and it was a bit over 300 dollars. That's pretty steep compared to other chains but the money is much better as well. I'm not there at this point to he able to afford it but one day when I am, I will Def dive I to eth nfts alot more.

The OpenSea move to Polygon sure feels like a very solid move. As much as ETH has grown is sure feels that at some point the gas fees have to be a limiting factor for further growth on ETH and push people to L2 solutions.

These fees are a turn-off for me (and most people) it just makes me wanna look elsewhere.
