I used to think fees were a small problem in crypto. Now I think they’re the main reason people don’t stay.
Every interaction costs something — even trying a new app. At first, it doesn’t feel like much. But over time, it changes behavior.
People stop exploring.
Because every click becomes a decision: “Is this worth paying for?”
That’s not how normal applications work.
And that’s where Midnight Network feels different to me.
Instead of forcing users to think about costs at every step, the network introduces a model where interaction resources can be handled in the background. Users don’t need to hold tokens just to try something.
That sounds simple, but it changes everything.
Because when the cost barrier is removed, curiosity comes back. And without curiosity, no system grows.
I didn’t think fees mattered this much before — but now it feels like they decide whether users stay or leave.
