Methodology

Open, reproducible — computed from our own archive node

Definition

Fee Share — fees as a fraction of total miner revenue (subsidy + fees).

Formula

fee_share = total_fees / (total_fees + total_subsidy)

How we compute it

From the miner-extraction stage; unit-invariant, NaN-safe.

Provenance · Every on-chain metric traces back to our own self-hosted Bitcoin archive node — no third-party data vendor sits in the path. We extract the full UTXO lifecycle (each output's creation height/time, value, and the height/time it was later spent), join it against an independent USD price oracle, and roll it up into daily aggregates. The metric formulas are pure functions over those aggregates (src/pipeline/formulas.py), so any value on this page can be reproduced from the published daily archive.

Interpretation

High fee share indicates congested blockspace and strong on-chain demand; near halvings, fee share structurally rises as subsidy falls.
