In the era of "users first," how can we enable users to achieve both "cost reduction" and "shared ecological growth dividends"?

If the pulse of the blockchain world beats with transactions, then Gas is the "barometer" measuring its temperature. Recently, this barometer has clearly pointed to an industry trend: a "cost reduction wave" led by mainstream public chains is quietly emerging, with Gas fees continuing to decline, marking a shift in the focus of public chain competition from the former "performance arms race" to a deep game centered on user costs and experience.

Data shows that after the TRON public chain significantly reduced its base fees, its network still contributes over 90% of Layer 1 transaction fee revenue, demonstrating the strong resilience of a highly active ecosystem and posing a key question to the market: as "low cost" and even "zero Gas fees" gradually become possible, what new windows will this open for ecological innovation and user growth?

In response to this industry turning point, SunPump, in collaboration with the leading Web3 information platform Metaera and the decentralized perpetual contract trading platform SunPerp within the TRON ecosystem, held a Space themed "Gas Fees Continue to Decline: Intensifying Public Chain Competition, New Ecological Opportunities, and Risk Games." On the evening of September 23 at 8:00 PM, several industry experts gathered in X Space for an in-depth discussion. This discussion not only analyzed the motivations behind the phenomenon, explored the coexistence of opportunities and risks in the future, but also sought sustainable solutions. Below are the highlights and intellectual exchanges from this Space.

Ecological Consensus and Security Under the Gas Fee Reduction Wave

In the opening discussion of the Space, multiple guests unanimously agreed that the reduction of Gas fees by public chains indeed marks the entry of the industry into a new stage centered on "user costs and experience." This does not deny the importance of performance but means that performance has become a basic threshold, with the key to competition shifting to how better to serve users and developers.

Guest Niu Mo Wang reviewed the evolution of the industry, pointing out that early public chain competition was largely centered around hardcore technical indicators like TPS. However, today, users are most concerned with "how much it costs to make a transaction" and "whether the operation is smooth." A significant reduction in Gas fees directly lowers the participation threshold for users, especially those making small transactions, and allows developers to explore more micro-payment and high-frequency interaction innovations, which are crucial for the ecosystem's activity and retention.

Guest 0xPink agreed and viewed low Gas fees as a strategic means. He cited TRON as an example, noting that after reducing base fees, it still contributed over 90% of Layer 1 transaction fee revenue, proving that low fees did not diminish its value but rather enhanced the network's ecological vitality and capital capacity by attracting a massive number of users and funds. Competition is no longer merely about "performance scores" but has evolved into a comprehensive contest around user experience, ecological attractiveness, and network effects.

However, beneath the feast, there are hidden concerns. The discussion quickly turned to the second core question: will near-zero Gas fees erode the foundational security of the network?

Guests generally believed that risks could be mitigated through ecological scale effects and application innovations. 0xPink summarized: "This is a delicate balancing act. Low Gas fees are a double-edged sword that can quickly stimulate the ecosystem but inevitably bring security pressures. The key is that public chains cannot blindly reduce fees; they must have accompanying economic and governance mechanism innovations to find a sustainable balance between enhancing user experience and ensuring network security."

Breakthrough Point: TRON Achieves Both Cost Reduction and Security Through SunPerp

After clarifying the opportunities and risks brought by low Gas fees, the discussion in the Space entered the most critical phase: how to resolve the dilemma between "cost reduction" and "security" and find a sustainable development path? Guest Niu Mo Wang offered constructive insights, suggesting that the long-term security of public chains should not solely focus on Gas fee levels but should aim to build strong ecological value drivers. By attracting high-frequency applications and institutional users, stable and large-scale transaction flows and capital deposits can be formed. Even if the transaction fees are extremely low, the substantial ecological value itself can create a strong security barrier and can be reinvested into network security through diversified income from value-added services.

When discussing ecological value drivers, the conversation naturally focused on SunPerp, the co-host of this Space. As the first decentralized perpetual contract trading platform in the TRON ecosystem, SunPerp, with its core advantage of zero Gas fee trading, is committed to providing users with an institutional-level trading experience and ultimate asset security, perfectly aligning with the "cost reduction and enhanced experience" industry direction discussed in this Space. By offering the industry's lowest contract rates and an upcoming "Recharge for Real Gold" Gas fee refund activity, SunPerp is proving to the market that low thresholds, high security, and quality experiences can coexist.

0xPink highly praised SunPerp's model, considering it a more refined and sustainable approach to "price wars." SunPerp's "zero Gas fee trading" model effectively shifts the cost of fee reduction from the protocol layer to the application layer, with the trading platform subsidizing users' network fees while relying on its strong smart risk control and deep liquidity to ensure system security.

0xPink emphasized that SunPerp is not simply and unsustainably burning money for subsidies but separates "subsidies" from "risk control," balancing costs and risks through product design. This provides the industry with a new idea: public chains are responsible for providing robust, low-cost infrastructure, while the application layer innovates business models to offer users an exceptional experience. This division of labor and cooperation is expected to achieve a win-win situation for users to gain benefits and ensure security and stability without significantly altering the underlying public chain economic model.

Big Brother corroborated this viewpoint from the user and market perspective. He pointed out from his own experience that TRON ecosystem projects have consistently excelled and are willing to attract users in the early stages through real monetary subsidies, and the strong revenue support of the TRON public chain makes this strategy feasible. SunPerp directly targets the most profitable contract track, promising to use platform revenue to repurchase SUN tokens, creating a growth flywheel: low fees attract users → increased transaction volume → platform revenue growth → repurchase incentives for token holders → ecological prosperity reinforces security. In this model, users can save money (low fees) and also have the opportunity to earn money (token economy), creating a strong attraction.

Conclusion

The discussion in this segment reached a clear conclusion: addressing the contradiction between cost reduction and security requires systemic innovation. Future public chain competition is likely to no longer be a simple "performance battle" or "price war," but rather enter a new stage of "solidifying the foundation at the protocol layer while showcasing talents at the application layer." The practice of SunPerp preliminarily proves that through sophisticated product and economic design, achieving a unity of low cost and high security at the application layer is feasible, providing an inspiring new case for the development of the entire DeFi and even Web3 industry.
