The Venom Foundationan organization based in Abu Dhabi and developer of the next-generation Layer-0 and Layer-1 blockchain of the same name, has comparative study of transaction costs of the world’s top ten blockchains.
The report, titled “How transaction fees at 10 leading blockchains affect their usability and adoption potential”reveals an impressive fact: between traditional proof-of-work networks and new scalable architectures, one exists 99.9% difference in transaction costs.
Bitcoin and Ethereum remain the most expensive
According to the study Bitcoin records an average of $1.10 per transactionwhile Ethereum stands by $1.85making them unsuitable for micropayments and mass applications, especially in emerging markets.
On the contrary, blockchains are based on Proof of stake like Solana ($0.00025), TRON ($0.001) And Poison (less than $0.001) provide virtually free editing and very fast completion times.
The advantage of scalable architectures
The research highlights how next-generation blockchains have overcome blockchain trade-offs scalability and security. Networks like Poison And Polygon indeed exceed 100,000 transactions per second (TPS)thus guaranteeing finality in the bottom 2 seconds.
The credit for Venom goes to his dynamic sharding system: Unlike static sharding, which can create imbalances between overloaded and inactive shards, Venom’s architecture adjusts the number and size of shards in real time based on network demand.
This asynchronous approach avoids bottlenecks, keeps costs under a fraction of a cent and ensures: 99.99% uptime efficiencyideal for applications such as gaming, high-frequency IoT and DeFi.
Christopher Louis Tsu: “Fees are the key to global adoption”
Christopher Louis TsuCEO of Venom Foundation, stated:
“As blockchain technology becomes the foundation of more and more real-world infrastructures, transaction costs are becoming a critical factor for adoption.
First-generation networks created digital scarcity; now, next-generation architectures are unlocking everyday usability, from international transfers to high-frequency decentralized trading.”
The big picture: Reimbursements as a gateway to mass adoption
The document shows how network congestion, block size and the consensus mechanism have a strong influence on compensation volatility.
During periods of high demand, Bitcoin and Ethereum fees can reach several dollars PoisonThanks to the dynamic model, costs remain stable, even under heavy traffic.
As global regulations progress and institutional investors enter the market, blockchains with low cost and high throughput are taking on an increasingly central role.
The study suggests that even if Ethereum continues to reduce costs through Layer-2 solutions, networks born with native scalable architectures – like Venom – could have a decisive structural advantage.
A network built for the future
Venom aims to be one safe, regulated and adaptable financial infrastructure to meet the needs of businesses and governments.
