Fee burden
Financial Burden:
Due to limited throughput, popular blockchain networks often experience high transaction fees, with users paying substantial fees just to execute simple transactions. For instance, the average Ethereum gas fee in 2021 reached as high as $70 per transaction, which is unsustainable for most applications and users .
Effect on Business:
High fees make it difficult for businesses to deploy cost-efficient solutions on the blockchain. Industries like supply chain management or IoT, which require frequent micro-transactions, find these costs prohibitive, ultimately limiting blockchain’s practical utility in these sectors.
