Also: “Proof if Weak Hands” was successful in making a game out of spamming the network to the point of DoS.

When ETH was hundreds of dollars, the cost of running code on the blockchain (gas price) could get up to $50 during these attacks.

Imagine adding a column in a database table cost $50. Forget about it.

I created and run a cryptocurrency trading game called Cache (https://www.cachethegame.com) that uses ERC20 tokens in the “coin-op” sense. The solution when transaction fees go wild is to simply enable free play. Nobody wants to play $1+ in fees for something that costs a few cents.
