Comparison of Altcoins Transaction Fees - Additional Data

Recent analysis has shed light on the stark contrast in transaction fees between Ethereum and certain layer-2 altcoins. Ethereum, while positioned as a dominant altcoin, is notorious for its high transaction costs, particularly evident during congested periods. At present, transactions involving complex processes such as swaps, borrowings, and NFT sales on the ETH network typically come with a price tag ranging from $20 to $30 on average. The rise of layer-2 altcoins, which focus on boosting Ethereum's scalability without compromising security, has gained traction primarily due to Ethereum's steep fees. Notably, one altcoin has emerged as a cost-efficient alternative, facilitating transactions at a fraction of Ethereum's fees. Data reveals that transactions on Arbitrum, for instance, are approximately 505 times more cost-effective than Ethereum. This remarkable affordability has underscored the appeal of exploring alternative altcoins to navigate the cryptocurrency landscape more economically. Further analysis highlights the comparative cost benefits of various layer-2 altcoins in contrast to Ethereum: 1. Arbitrum – 505 times cheaper 2. Starknet – 449 times cheaper 3. Manta Pacific – 202 times cheaper 4. zkSync – 155 times cheaper 5. Optimism – 135 times cheaper 6. Base – 92 times cheaper. The ongoing discussion emphasizes the importance of diversifying cryptocurrency transactions to optimize costs and explore efficient alternatives within the realm of digital assets.
