At the Token 2049 event in Singapore, Vitalik Buterin dwelt on the recent accomplishments of Ethereum, including L2 networks. He further described how the fee reduction helped to make Ethereum more affordable. Costs have been a major hindrance to expansion for many years. However, recent developments are gradually reducing these costs to nearly insignificant levels.Lower Layer-2 Fees Mark Big ProgressEthereum’s Layer-2 (L2) networks, like Optimism and Arbitrum, have significantly improved in lowering fees. These networks are designed to scale Ethereum and now offer much cheaper transactions. In the past, fees ranged between $10 and $0.50. Recently, the costs have dropped to under $0.01, making it much more affordable for everyday use.Along with lower fees, Layer-2 solutions are becoming safer. Rollups are at the moment more stable and cheaper to use. Quickly moving through a set of transactions is possible and optimized for daily use.<h2 id="header-0">Faster Transaction Confirmations Boost Efficiency</h2><a href="https://cryptotale.org/vitalik-buterin-to-prioritize-stage-1-l2-projects-in-2025/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Buterin </a>also discussed developments regarding the speed of transaction confirmation on the blockchain.
