You raise an interesting point. I have to admit I was also surprised to see how expensive a spin on HyperEVM can be from a user’s perspective.
The Entropy protocol fee itself is regularly reviewed and adjusted by the Pythian Council, with a target of roughly $0.02 per request. The latest adjustment was made through OP-PIP-134. Interestingly, HyperEVM was left unchanged at 0.0004 HYPE (roughly $0.033 at the time of the proposal), so the significant difference in the final cost per spin compared with Base or Monad appears to be largely chain-related rather than coming from the Entropy protocol fee itself.
That said, I haven’t personally dug into the technical details of the gas economics on HyperEVM yet, so I’d be very interested to hear from someone with a deeper understanding of the different cost components.
It would be useful to understand this better so the Community Council and the community can properly evaluate whether the current setup still makes sense for the Wheel, and what variables should be considered when choosing a chain for future deployments or migrations.
I’m definitely not an expert on the subject, so please educate me!
