You don't on chains such as Polygon, Fantom, etc etc etc. Really only Ethereum is very expensive; you don't have to use it.

I'm just a lurker on crypto issues, but if you're avoiding transaction fees by trading on a company's private chain, aren't your assets also held by that private company?

So if you wanted to redeem your assets from a private chain, wouldn't those trades need to interact with the company's holdings, rather than the wider marketplace?
