@base.base.eth is growing fast — builders, creators, culture everywhere.
But CT is talking about one thing lately: fees 👀
Let’s be honest.
The good:
Base and @baseapp.base.eth nailed onboarding.
Clean UX, fast confirmations, and real distribution through Coinbase.
Credit to @jesse.base.eth for pushing culture, not just infrastructure.
The friction:
When activity spikes, fees spike.
Memecoins, bots, and DEX volume mean transactions don’t always feel “cheap”.
Expectation vs reality is clashing on Twitter.
The truth:
Base isn’t failing — it’s busy.
Usage creates pressure before optimization arrives.
The real test isn’t hype or gas screenshots.
It’s whether Base can scale without killing experimentation.
Early ecosystems aren’t quiet.
They’re being shaped.
