Why are so many protocols moving away from Ethereum? The migration trend seems relentless. Is it purely a matter of lower fees on alternative chains, or are there deeper technical limitations driving this exodus? Worth examining what's really pushing developers and projects to explore other blockchain environments.

Speaking of which, Ethereum is really starting to feel a bit "aging" now, and high gas fees are discouraging a lot of people.

Low fees are just an appearance; the real arbitrage opportunity lies in liquidity fragmentation. Although Ethereum's DEX depth is the strongest, these developers have discovered price difference opportunities on other chains—Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon—where slippage is ridiculously large, making it a paradise for arbitrage bots.

ETH is still too expensive, and the gas fees are simply outrageous... But honestly, it's not just about the costs. The congestion on layer 1 does affect the development experience. Everyone wants quick feedback, right?

To be honest, Ethereum's gas fees have long been a source of complaints... However, I believe that this wave of migration isn't entirely due to low costs. Many projects are forced by MEV and network congestion. Layer 2 is the right path.
