Achieving lower transaction costs is a significant driver of innovation in payment systems.
Context
The promise of lower transaction costs is a primary appeal of many blockchain and digital asset solutions, particularly when compared to traditional cross-border payment networks. Layer-2 scaling solutions for blockchains, such as rollups, are specifically designed to reduce gas fees and increase throughput, thereby lowering costs for users. Debates often address the trade-offs between security, decentralization, and the extent to which transaction costs can be minimized without compromising network integrity. The ongoing pursuit of cost-efficient transfers remains a key factor in digital asset adoption.
