How does ICP compare in terms of blockchain scalability and cost?

ICP scales via subnet sharding, allowing new subnets to handle growing workloads without congestion. Its cycle-based computational model ensures predictable transaction costs and avoids high gas fees seen on Ethereum, making it suitable for enterprise-grade decentralized apps.

The cost per transaction is minimal, but dev adoption will decide its future.
