Lisa creates AI art NFTs. Been on Ethereum 2 years.
Her nightmare: Gas fees destroying profits.
2023 earnings breakdown:
NFT sales: $34,000
Ethereum gas fees paid: $12,400
Net profit: $21,600
"I lost $12,400 just to USE the blockchain. That's 36% of my revenue."
Every mint: $40-80 gas
Every listing: $20-50 gas
Every transfer: $15-30 gas
"Some days I paid $200 in gas to sell $150 worth of NFTs. Literally losing money."
Last month: Friend mentioned @Fogo Official
"Same NFT functionality. Almost zero fees."
Lisa skeptical. "Everyone promises low fees."
"Just test it. Mint one NFT. See for yourself."
The Test:
Ethereum: Minted test NFT = $67 gas fee
Fogo: Minted same NFT = $0.0003 gas fee
Lisa stared at screen.
"Three ten-thousandths of a cent? That's basically FREE."
Week 1: Migrated entire collection to Fogo.
Minted 50 NFTs:
Ethereum would've cost: $3,350 in gas
Fogo actual cost: $0.15 total
"I saved $3,350 in ONE WEEK."
Month 1 on Fogo:
Sales: $31,000
Gas fees: $8
Net profit: $30,992
vs previous month on Ethereum:
Sales: $34,000
Gas fees: $11,800
Net profit: $22,200
"I earned LESS in sales but kept $8,800 MORE in profit."
"Because I'm not hemorrhaging money on gas."
Month 3:
Lisa now vocal Fogo advocate.
"I wasted $12,400 last year on Ethereum gas. Never again."
17 other NFT artists followed her to Fogo.
Combined gas savings: $84,000+ quarterly
"That's $84,000 staying with ARTISTS instead of going to validators."
When artists keep 99% instead of 64% - infrastructure matters.
$FOGO letting creators actually PROFIT.
