EIP-4844 impact on the Superchain: Influx of new users driving activity on @base
​
The Ecotone upgrade activated 4844 on the Superchain from day 1, cutting transaction costs ~99%.

Has this resulted in any material impact for the OP stack family of chains?
​
A quick analysis of @base post-4844:
​
→ Lower transaction fees attracted new users who primarily engaging in activities like DEX trading (eg., Uniswap) & NFT mints

→ Newly acquired users were less engaged and wallets often dropped off after three months onchain. This shows that not only do we need to "build it and they will come", after they come, we also need to build new applications so that new users can always do things onchain.
