Seeing many zero-fee protocols lately. It might look good for users at first, but it quietly hurts the ecosystem.
Even when a product is slightly better, competing on “no fee” sets false expectations. It pushes others to follow and leaves the space with less innovation.
Teams start chasing vanity metrics with investors’ money instead of learning what users are truly willing to pay for.
Blur is a good example. They went “zero-fee” to compete with OpenSea. For a while, it worked. But once the subsidy (token rewards) ended, activity fell off.
Meanwhile, @opensea kept charging fees and they’re still around.
In the end, real products succeed. You can’t fake PMF for long. And users always pay for what they actually need and what truly works.
