NEAR Fees: Cheaper Than Your Daily Oxygen Supply!
Have you ever stared at an Ethereum gas fee and wondered if you were accidentally trying to buy the entire network or just sending five dollars to a friend?

It is truly mind-blowing that in 2026, some people still enjoy the thrill of paying more for a transaction fee than for their actual lunch, almost as if burning money is a new Olympic sport they are desperately trying to win!

Why on earth would anyone choose to get robbed by a digital toll booth every time they move a token when there is a better way to live your life without going bankrupt every single time you hit that send button? 💸🤔📉

Well, the joke is officially on the gas-guzzlers because NEAR Protocol is here to make your financial life look like a permanent clearance sale where everything is basically free! We are talking about transaction costs that are thousands of times cheaper than Ethereum, often costing just a tiny, microscopic fraction of a single cent, which is basically what you find under your couch cushions after a wild party. 🛋️🪙✨

It is honestly hilarious that you can do thousands of transactions on NEAR for the price of one single "cheap" trade on other chains, making it the ultimate cheat code for anyone who actually likes keeping their money instead of donating it to miners. 🦇💰🚀$BNB

So, while the "legacy" crowd continues to celebrate their high-cost decentralization like it is some sort of prestigious country club membership, the rest of us are out here enjoying the NEAR lifestyle where gas fees are so low they are basically invisible. Stop acting like paying twenty dollars for a swap is a "feature" and start realizing that paying a thousandth of a cent is the only way to actually scale this revolution to the masses without making everyone go broke. 🎈🤡🔥
If you still love high fees, please keep funding the network’s electricity bill, but for those of us who actually value our wallets, the choice is pretty obvious! 💎🌈🙌

Ethereum solidified its position as the top blockchain in 2024 by generating $2.48 billion in fee revenues. However, this strong performance in fees contrasted with the underwhelming price action of ETH during the same period.
In total, Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains collectively earned nearly $6.9 billion in transaction fees in 2024.
Ethereum Maintains Leadership Despite Upgrades
According to a CoinGecko report, Ethereum’s fee revenues rose by 3% compared to $2.41 billion earned in 2023.
Despite the Dencun upgrade in March 2024, which lowered transaction costs on Layer 2 solutions, Ethereum continued to dominate fee revenues. The migration of users from the Layer 1 mainnet to Layer 2 solutions did not hinder its strong market position.
Monthly revenues for Ethereum ranged from $62.82 million to $606.77 million throughout the year. The blockchain's most profitable quarter in two years was the first quarter of 2024, generating $1.17 billion, nearly half of its annual fee revenue. This surge was driven by airdrop initiatives and heightened on-chain activity.
Other Blockchains: Tron and Solana on the Rise
Tron ranked second in fee revenues, earning $2.15 billion in 2024—a staggering 116.7% increase from $922 million in the previous year. This growth was largely driven by the expanded use of stablecoins, with Tron’s monthly earnings hitting $342.54 million in December 2024.
Solana experienced the highest percentage growth, with its fee revenues skyrocketing by 2,838% from $25.55 million in 2023 to $750.65 million in 2024. This surge was fueled by increased transaction activity, which even caused network congestion in April 2024. Solana’s monthly revenues peaked at $197.5 million in November 2024.
Bitcoin and BNB Chain: Modest Growth
Bitcoin saw its fee revenues grow by nearly 16%, while BNB Chain recorded an 8.7% increase. Although these gains were more modest, they were still significant. Bitcoin’s growth was supported by innovations such as Ordinal NFTs, BRC-20 tokens, and the development of Rune tokens.
Conclusion: Ethereum Remains Dominant
Despite competition and changes within the ecosystem, Ethereum has proven its ability to remain a dominant force among blockchains. Its fee revenues far outpaced those of other blockchains, reaffirming its central role in the crypto industry. However, the rise of Tron and Solana highlights the rapidly evolving market and the emergence of new players.
