Which L-2 network is the most cost efficient for real transactions?

Here’s the current cost to send $XXXXX across top L2s:

Arbitrum ( $ARB) : ~$0.30

Optimism ( $OP ) : ~$0.32

zkSync ( $ZK) : ~$0.04

Base: ~$0.25

Polygon PoS ( $POL) : ~$0.02

Low fees make crypto usable for real-world payments, DeFi, and daily activity. 

The networks that balance low fees, security, and decentralization will attract more users, more developers, and more real economic activity.

In the long run, cost efficiency could decide which blockchains lead the next adoption cycle.
