Founders

Crypto natives will pay for convenience.

Just used relay.link to bridge and saw the fee for "instant" was ~$100.

This made more sense to me than waiting for the typical bridging process which would take an unknown amount of time.

Powerful lesson in there for founders.

@chicago absolutely loving Relay btw - product gets better and better every time I use it

I respect that opinion.

As someone who's used like 10 different bridges at this point I just accept that there is a bridge fee.

Also bullish for the underlying tokenomics if there is a fee to bridge and at that point becomes a branding game.

Coinbase charges $1k for instant withdraw to fiat so this feels fine to me

I disagree. Bridging needs to be invisible, seamless.

I'd rather pay $100 as a subscription to relay, but never as a flat fee.

bridges are user hotspot for exploration and not a 'end-product'.

driving revenue should be purely based of units of economics and not charging insane bridge fee.

Depends on the chain you're using.

Degen Chain is def having some liquidity issues so wouldn't count on that.

Bridging from pretty much any L2 to one another or to mainnet works great (up to ~10 ETH cap)

does it work now?

couldn't bridge out last time i tried thanks for sharing coop!

relay is the cheap & fast bridge!!!
- I typically see $0.10 fees
- using relay for @xcelencia album purchase

which networks did you bridge from to see $100 fees???

An exhibition space for digital art.

This is why @verse is now implementing “insta-minting” on ETH for a fee for artworks, or an option if you’d prefer to wait until gas fee’s cool down at efficient times we cover the gas cost. 🤍

convenience, simplicity, trust are features for which people will durably pay high premiums

Eg Amex, Apple, Coinbase

That's awesome, thank you for sharing this.

It’s also smart psychology that the default for almost every transaction is in crypto and not native currency. Abstracting money makes transaction fees easier to accept.

Have you tried across.to or sideshift.ai ?

Sideshift blew my mind. Direct to wallet swaps.

Many crypto natives will also pay for inconvenience because it's what they're used to!

this is a game changers of fees stay this low, nice find thanks!

￼ I like to use this bridge to bring Eth to the mainnet from L2

I'm sorry but $100 for instant bridging is insane. Yes, same as with 50k designer bags, someone will pay for it, but that is completely unreasonable.

is it me or does $100 for fees sounds expensive to me
