**High GAS Fees: The "Double-edged Sword" of Blockchain Ecosystem**

GAS fees, as the core cost of blockchain networks, directly affect the activity of the ecosystem. In public chains such as Ethereum, high GAS fees (such as the peak of 200 gwei in 2021) lead to three major chain reactions:

1. **User Loss**: Small transferors are forced to leave, the costs of high-frequency operations such as NFT mint and DeFi interactions have surged, and retail investor participation has dropped sharply;

2. **Developer Migration**: Project parties turn to low-fee chains such as Solana and Avalanche to reduce costs, exacerbating public chain competition and ecological fragmentation 3. **Vicious cycle of network congestion**: Miners/validators prioritize packaging high GAS transactions, and ordinary users are forced to bid at a higher price, further pushing up fees.

**Breakthrough Path**: Layer2 expansion solutions (Optimism, Arbitrum) have compressed transaction fees to $0.1-$2, and Ethereum sharding technology may further alleviate congestion after implementation. However, short-term market fluctuations will still cause sharp fluctuations in GAS, and users need to seize trading opportunities.
