There are technologies that does not suffer from the fee issue. Here I don't want to start a crypto war. We can even forget about the crypto charged word and think about stable coins, points and/or tokens that could be changed. I used the example of crypto just to emphasize that the current financial methods are very expensive and compliance crazy to process basic donations to developers and/or other creative endeavours. The typical "the righteous pays for the sinner".

Depends on the currency. For Bitcoin, that's what the lightning network is *trying* to fix

Depends on the currency, IIRC with Monero the fee is like a tenth or a hundredth of a cent.

not on the lightning network

Let's not start down this road unless we want a detailed discussion of why the lightning network is hopium and fantasy that has fundamental basic routing flaws obvious to anyone who's built anything at scale.

Can we start down the road of block-lattice tech, which has been running fast, safe and free for like seven years now?

It's tiresome hearing about crypto's fees, eco, and mining problems while there's a proven technology that's actually spam resistant and nearly consumer-grade actively working, right now.
