Hmm, I can’t agree with your conclusion. I had 4 winning tickets during the last 24h, each with a face value of 0.0434. On average, I paid 0.03 in transaction fees for each ticket.
Currently, I’m sharing 75% of the earned fees with my stakers -> I’m losing money with transcoding
Essentially I’m losing 70% of the ticket value due to gas cost, which also means that I would need to keep at least 70% of the fees generated for myself only to break even. I wouldn’t call this “holding up well”, sorry.
I’m no expert on Layer 2 solutions (there’s just too much to keep up with…) like zkSync or zkStark but as far as I know, this sounds like a perfect usecase for it. Wouldn’t it save the orchestrators (and broadcasters) a ton of gas compared to the current solution and therefore allow the orchestrators to share a larger % of their earnings with their stakers?
