Cardano Transaction Fees Lag Far Behind Staking Rewards

The Cardano network generated $3.3 million in transaction fees over a recent period of 73 epochs, but this amount pales in comparison to the $493.7 million in staking rewards distributed during the same time.

This data comes from Bitquery and highlights the relatively small contribution that transaction fees make to the overall economics of the Cardano network.

The fee revenue gap between these two figures is stark, with transaction fees accounting for just 0.67% of staking rewards during this period.
