Responding to the tweet, Buterin said fees need to be lower than $0.05 to be tolerable. Buterin said the blockchain is progressing, and even proto-danksharding can be sufficient to realize the goal.
Ethereum’s new design danksharding presents essential simplifications compared to previous designs. As for proto-danksharding it is a proposal to increase the efficiency of the sharding technique.The goal is that Ethereum will scale essentially sooner, decreasing congestion and gas fees.
Meanwhile, Ethereum's major upgrade Etherem 2.0 is supposed to complete sometime in 2023.
