In r/ethereum, builders argue the real bottleneck is off-chain indexing and RPC overhead rather than gas, and some express frustration with performance while others track emerging ZK order book DEX interest.
The true bottleneck in Ethereum dApp architecture isn't just on-chain gas, it's the off-chain infrastructure required to read the state.
When protocols are designed without considering how data is indexed, they force massive hardware and cost requirements onto the ecosystem.
Standard contract-to-contract ETH transfers (`call{value: x}()`) don't emit logs.
ZK-powered order book DEXs are quietly becoming the most interesting sector in DeFi. Is anyone else paying attention?
even my ps5 from 5 years ago outperforms eth.
