1 Idea From Others (+ bonus)

Raj, Co-Founder of Solana, on the 'gas problem'

"there are great ideas / models from past cycles that simply don't work in a high fee environment, and could thrive in a super low fee environment.

high freq, repeat interaction applications get the life sucked out of them with even $1-5 fees over time.

don't reinvent the wheel"

Zaki, Cosmos Ecosystem OG on re-thinking gas

"The Cosmos SDK has had a gas feature since launch that was loosely inspired by Ethereum gas features.

Gas functioned as way of helping the poorly informed Comet BFT block proposer about how to fill blocks

This feature has never worked well. The simulation function has always been unreliable."
