Several key protocols in the DeFi ecosystem—including AbstractChain, Beezie, and OpenSea—are increasingly exploring solutions to one of Web3's biggest pain points. ETHGas has launched the Open Gas Initiative, a move aimed at stripping transaction costs out of the user journey entirely. This shift could reshape how traders and builders interact with decentralized platforms, especially as network congestion continues to drive up operational expenses. The initiative signals growing momentum toward making blockchain interactions more accessible and cost-efficient for everyday users.
