Part 4/7:
The Economics of XTM and Sustainability
One significant consideration for Torum's future lies in the feasibility and sustainability of its tokenomics. The current reliance on Ethereum raises concerns due to high gas fees. As Lightliger pointed out, the long-term utility of XTM will critically depend on whether the platform can adapt or transition to alternative, cheaper blockchain solutions like Binance Smart Chain or a Layer 2 option.
Users might struggle if they have to wait extended periods, such as 30 days, to withdraw their tokens, especially if gas fees remain high. As any social media platform scales, having a stable and accessible economic model becomes paramount.
