this is the sneakiest type of FUD because it masks technical ignorance with false numbers to give you false confidence — and 99% of people won't be able to tell luckily, I will show you that it's nonsense i) solana has parallel fee markets, these L2 do not meaning: if fees increase on a hot market like USDT/USDC, this does not increase the fees for something like basic SOL transfers on the mentioned EVMs, if the prices for a single market go up, the prices go up for everyone — it's like if the uber prices in NYC went up due to traffic, but somehow people in Boston also have to pay more as a result, you'd look at the median fee instead of the average and if you look at the median fee, Solana is (somehow) still cheaper, which is insane since it's doing over 10-100x the scale a great metric for this is median fee volatility (below) — lower the volatility means the more consistent the pricing; and as you can see Solana is by far the best here ii) here's the real troll part OP is comparing Solana fees to *checks notes* Inkchain, among others Inkchain is doing 3 TPS, yes 3 — so is Starknet Arbitrum is at 28 and Base is at 100 Solana is at over 1200 — which is 10x-400x more activity and btw, even in *that case* — Solana median is still lower...find below Uber prices in Aleppo aren't cheaper than NYC because Aleppo has better infrastructure — it's because there is actual demand in NYC e.g., if these L2s that OP uses were to do the same scale as Solana, their fees would be several tens or hundreds of multiples higher (and we already saw this several times)
