Recently, I helped a friend mint a small NFT on the mainnet. When the gas fees shot up, he wanted to move to L2. To be fair, the experience is definitely smoother—but don’t treat “cheapness” as a magic key. My compromise is a bit old-fashioned: for everyday interactions and fragmented small transactions, I send them to L2. But if it’s a long-term hold, or for royalty settlement / big transfers, I still go back to the mainnet and handle it in one shot—fewer trips across cross-chain bridges, and I can sleep more soundly. Recently, attention is swinging around with meme hype and celebrity shilling—everything looks lively, but once the chain gets congested, everyone loses their heads at once, and newcomers are the most likely to grab the last baton… I see “simplicity” as a trap: the line “moving to L2 solves everything” sounds too smooth. In any case, I’ll ask one more thing: who’s paying the exit cost?
