Gas-free transactions may lower the threshold for DeFi applications, but scalability and cost challenges remain. Ethereum Gas fees have soared recently, such as during the WLFI token issuance, the price soared from less than 1 gWei to more than 100 gWei, with transfer costs exceeding $145 and disrupting DeFi activity. Experts emphasize that mainstream applications depend on scalability and cost-effectiveness, requiring seamless Layer 2 solutions with features such as Gas using simulators and automatic batch processing. High fees during a surge in demand may force users to turn to traditional alternatives, highlighting the need for ultra-fast, low-cost infrastructure to support ongoing transactions and institutional engagement.
