The mainnet gas fees have been ridiculously high these days, I want to complain but I’m too lazy to bother… Anyway, ordinary people just compromise on three things: if you can use L2, don’t force your way onto the mainnet; if you really need to go on the mainnet, do everything in one go (batch, fewer back-and-forths); don’t ruin the user experience just to save a few bucks.
I’m really looking forward to the account abstraction system, at least in the future, every operation won’t feel like solving a math problem.
As for the recent wave of testnet incentives, point farming, and guessing whether the “mainnet will issue tokens or not,” I can only say don’t put all your hopes on airdrops; in the end, if the rewards aren’t enough to cover your time costs, that’s even more frustrating.
Tired but still here, today I’ll just migrate my frequently used addresses to L2 to save some gas.
