The Layer 2 battlefield has reached a point where each party is showcasing their strength—TPS scores, gas fee comparisons, and TVL rankings, with data being lively.

But there is a problem that has been collectively overlooked: what users really care about is, "Don't let me down."

The trading peak is here, will Gas suddenly skyrocket? Will the mempool become congested like a parking lot? Will the network inexplicably lag for half a day?

Mantle's performance is surprising—these "user nightmare" scenarios have hardly occurred here.

When the traffic peak hits, the Gas fees remain steady as an old dog, the transaction confirmation speed doesn't lag behind, and there are no awkward moments of "system busy, please wait."

Data looks good, but not crashing is more important.
