Crypto hype projects continuously obscure the facts with confusing marketing hype. One thing I couldn't work out from the page is how much it costs to use. It was my understanding that pretty much all web3 projects are hit hard with transaction fees for any change.

Cryptocurrencies are a way to get funding for web3 infrastructure in a decentralized way. Sadly, it's not the only way cryptocurrencies can be used.

I think, IPFS and Radicle did good here by not making these type of payments mandatory.

They said: if you don't want to run all that stuff yourself, pay someone to host your node. If you want that someone to host nodes in a decentralized matter, you can pay them with crypto.
