people talk about solana ux but every time i've wanted to swap in phantom i've had transactions fail 5+ times before going through. is this better or worse ux than paying $50 for a swap when the chain is under high load?

Not trying to disagree to disagree, but I never had a txn fail via Phantom.

I have heard of it being frustrating for a bunch of people though.

I’m not a frequent user. Maybe a coincidence with in-app swap in phantom?

The transaction pricing/contention is per contract account, so anything that is popular rn should result in failed txns unless the slippage is very generous.

But also during peak usage you can always go use an obscure contract and have no problems. That's why peoples' experience varies.

Wait what. 

So fees are based on the contract not chain as a whole? 

Can you ELI5 this in Ethereum speak please 😂
