I was shocked when I made a transfer today - the Gas fee on the Ethereum Mainnet has fallen to $0.02! This price is actually lower than some Layer 2s.

I specifically compared a round, the data is a bit magical:

The Ethereum Mainnet now costs about $0.02 for a transaction (Gas has fallen to 0.1 Gwei).
Base chain costs 0.03 USD, surprisingly more expensive than the Mainnet.
Arbitrum is cheaper, 0.004 dollars
OP Mainnet is 0.006 USD

To be honest, I never expected such a scene before. I always thought Layer 2 was aimed at saving money, but now when the chain is quiet, the Mainnet can actually be this cheap.

This wave of change is largely due to the recently completed Fusaka upgrade. After the block capacity was expanded, the Mainnet directly pushed costs to the floor during off-peak hours.

It feels like a turning point: Ethereum's scalability solutions are no longer just reliant on L2 offloading; the Mainnet itself is also becoming more resilient. The previous stereotype of being "too expensive to afford" is being shattered.

Have you noticed the fluctuations in Gas fees recently? Will this situation of the Mainnet fees being lower than L2 become more common?
