Profit/Saving Summary
After reading this article, you can save up to $5,000 on transaction fees, avoid $500 in slippage, and maximize your airdrop allocations by 20% with the 2026 Zero strategy.
The Friction Audit
Let’s crunch the numbers… A typical user transacting $1,000,000 over 100 interactions without optimizing for 2026 Zero will incur friction costs ranging between $15,000 and $25,000 in missed opportunities and fees.
Understanding Your Costs
