I hadn’t used ETH mainnet in ages. I had to use it today to make a few transactions which reminded me of why L2s like base and L3s like DEGEN are important. No sane person is gonna pay 10s of dollars for a swap whose value is not even 100$.

yea definitely, but the problems with L2 and L3s still is I don't think there are a lot of reliable protocols for on ramping and off ramping due to which most people have to experience the pain of mainnet. I think solana is doing better on this side tho

biggest barrier to bringing people onchain

no normal people are willing to pay to experience mainnet transactions.  onboarding will happen on L2/L3s and cheaper chains like solana

Right! those fees are insane
try updating an ENS domain

Same here,

I thought scaling was gonna fix that but looks like mainnet will always be for whales.
