Sending crypto shouldn’t cost more than a coffee ☕️

Here’s how much a standard 21,000 ETH transfer costs on some leading EVM chains right now (Sep 16):

* **Optimism:** $0.000050
* **Avalanche:** $0.000059
* **Base:** $0.000302

Yes, you read that right. Moving the same amount of Ethereum can cost a tiny fraction of a cent on networks like Optimism and Avalanche, compared to the main Ethereum network. That's a saving of about **99%** when you choose Optimism over Ethereum for that transfer.

It’s a good reminder of the efficiency and low costs available in the EVM ecosystem today.
