Summary

  • Renames concepts/reverse-gas-model.md to concepts/cycles.md — "gas" is Ethereum-specific jargon that means nothing to developers coming from a Web2 background
  • Rewrites the page intro and section headers to drop "reverse gas model", "gas fee", "smart contract", and "Web2-like" framing
  • Updates all 9 cross-links across the docs to point to the new path with plain link text
  • Small copy fixes in adjacent pages: "Gas (user pays)" → "Fee (user pays)" in the comparison table, "Web2-like UX" → "Familiar UX" in chain-fusion, Ethereum gas comparison removed from cycles-management intro

Sync recommendation

hand-written

Increase tagline from 26px to 32px (split across two lines to fit width)
and eyebrow label from 15px to 19px. Both were illegible at the ~600px
width social platforms render OG images.
Rename concepts/reverse-gas-model.md to concepts/cycles.md.
"Gas" is Ethereum-specific jargon with no meaning to developers
coming from a Web2 background.

- Page title: "Reverse Gas Model" -> "Cycles"
- Intro: drop "gas fee", "smart contract", "Web2-like", "reverse gas model"
- Body: "No gas auctions" -> "No fee auctions", remove gas model framing
- Update all 9 cross-links across docs, choosing plain link text
  ("Cycles" instead of "Reverse gas model")
- app-architecture.md: "Gas (user pays)" -> "Fee (user pays)"
- chain-fusion.md: "Web2-like UX" -> "Familiar UX"
- cycles-management.mdx: remove Ethereum gas comparison from intro
