OKX Ventures cited data from Token Terminal on platform X, indicating that the monthly transaction count on Ethereum has exceeded 70 million, setting a new historical high. At the same time, the median transaction fee on the network has dropped to approximately $0.00554, also setting a new historical low. This indicates that Ethereum is gradually achieving the network characteristics of "high efficiency and low cost."In light of this, OKX Ventures believes that Layer 2 solutions and modular architecture are continuously reducing the cost of on-chain interactions, and the historically high Gas fee issue is significantly improving. As transaction costs decrease to sufficiently low levels, applications such as stablecoins, blockchain games, social platforms, AI Agents, and RWA (real-world assets) will find it easier to attract real users.The competition among public chains is entering the "experience era," where future competition will no longer be based solely on TPS, but rather on whether the network can provide better security, liquidity, and user experience. Ethereum still maintains a strong advantage in terms of developer and ecosystem strength. As costs decline, activities such as on-chain payments, asset issuance, and cross-border settlements are expected to continue growing, with blockchain infrastructure gradually becoming part of the mainstream digital economy.OKX Ventures will continue to focus on infrastructure upgrades and the long-term application value within the Ethereum ecosystem. The truly important signal is not just market price fluctuations, but the continuous growth of real on-chain usage.
