Stablecoins act as a bridge between crypto and fiat, letting users swap instantly with near‑$1 value. By being pegged to a dollar basket or algorithmic anchor, they keep price near 1 USD, offering a safe haven for traders to park profits, pay services, or hedge volatility. As DeFi expands, these tokens become the vital artery linking blockchain to everyday finance.

Want to slash your Ethereum costs? 1) Check the mempool – pick a fee that matches current demand. 2) Use EIP‑1559’s “max fee” and “priority fee” to stay competitive without overpaying. 3) Set a realistic gas limit; too high = wasted. 4) Batch transfers or use layer‑2 rollups. 5) Wait for off‑peak times. Small tweaks, big savings.

The blockchain trilemma—security, decentralization, scalability—seems a hard trade‑off, but new solutions are converging. Layer‑2 rollups move routine trades off‑chain, sharding splits state into manageable pieces, and refined proof‑of‑stake keeps validators honest. Together they let networks stay permission‑less, fully‑node friendly, and handle millions of ops per second. The next decade will bring hybrid models that keep users safe, fast, and truly decentralized.
