gas-free options were explored across different platforms, like Tron, aiding
gas-free stablecoin development for Ethereum and Tron chains. Surges in meme coin activity led to network fee highs reflecting the impact of popular trends on the
crypto environment.
Bitcoin faced challenges as prices plunged below
