Tezos baker fee on transactions

About this chart

Baker fee paid on Tezos transactions per day.

The primary purpose of transaction fees is to cover the cost of adding a transaction to the blockchain. Tezos bakers can choose to prioritize inclusion of transactions with a higher fee. This implicitly turns block space into an asset sold to the highest bidder (i.e. the agent who includes the highest baker fee in the transaction).

So far peaks in baker fees mostly come from NFT project launches.
