Spot on zero fees turn stables from āexpensive to moveā into actual on-chain cash. The real test is whether the UX lets people unlearn the batching habit fast enough. Loving these behavioral observations
Iāve spent a lot of time moving stablecoins around, and the friction is subtler than youād think.
Every swap, even between USDC and USDT, triggers a mental calculation: fees, gas, whether itās worth it for a small adjustment.
Over time, these micro-decisions add up. I find myself batching actions, delaying transfers, or avoiding on-chain movements that should feel trivial.
Stablecoins are meant to act as a neutral, predictable layer of value, but the combination of protocol fees, network costs, and UX opacity turns what should be simple infrastructure into a series of deliberate, slightly stressful choices.
