Smart contracts often fail not from faulty code, but from poor user experience design.
Developers typically encounter three critical friction points when going live:
• Gas insufficiency — users frequently lack adequate funds for transactions, creating immediate abandonment • Fee volatility — unpredictable network costs undermine user confidence and economic planning • Congestion drag — shared blockspace becomes a bottleneck during peak demand, severely hampering adoption momentum
When these UX barriers hit, smart contracts alone can't solve the problem. The infrastructure itself needs to evolve. Layer solutions and optimized networks that prioritize user experience become essential — not optional add-ons.

Oh my god, when gas fees rise, users just run away. No matter how awesome the code is, it's useless.

This is the core... No matter how awesome the contract code is, it can't save a poor user experience, really.

That's right, I am one of those who gave up after being tortured by gas fees. No matter how beautiful the code is, what's the use?

Basically, no matter how advanced the technology is, if the user experience is poor, it's still doomed.

To be honest, gas fees are the real killer. No matter how perfect the code is, it's useless.
