A new approach to layer2 adoption is taking shape. The Open Gas Initiative aims to flip the script on how protocols engage users—by letting them incentivize onchain activity while eliminating the persistent anxiety around transaction costs. Instead of users bearing the full weight of gas expenses, protocols get a tool to drive organic growth and improve user experience simultaneously. The question now is which ecosystems will embrace this model. Leading layer2 solutions are watching closely, and early movers could gain a significant edge in user acquisition and ecosystem stickiness.

Someone finally wants to solve the gas fee issue, but it still depends on which layer2 dares to be the first to take the plunge.

ngl this gas fee subsidy angle actually might be the move—been getting flashbacks to my mining days watching people hemorrhage money on mainnet txs. if protocols foot the bill instead of users, adoption metrics could actually look decent for once. but let's be real, which L2 actually has the economics to pull this off sustainably? 🤔
