Ethereum is hitting record levels of on-chain activity while transaction fees have dropped to historic lows. This unusual combination reveals interesting dynamics in the network—heavy usage without the typical fee pressure suggests improved efficiency or shifting demand patterns. Worth monitoring whether this trend reflects genuine adoption gains or temporary network conditions.

ngl, this set of data is a bit suspicious... Low fees combined with high activity, is the network really optimized or are they just playing us?

Low fees and activity reaching new highs? That's ridiculous, it feels like bragging.

Low gas fees and high activity? That doesn't make sense. Could it be that layer2 is diverting traffic? Or is it that this wave of shitcoins has really been eliminated?

Low-fee high-activity? That doesn't seem right, I feel like something's about to collapse.

High activity with low fees—how is the mechanism design so smooth? In previous years, this kind of equilibrium game was impossible to achieve. We need to see whether the underlying is rollup sharding or genuine network optimization.

Low fees and high activity? It depends on whether it's layer2 sharding or genuine network optimization. Don't be fooled by surface data.

Low fees and high activity? How is that possible? It must be Layer2 offloading. Don't be fooled, friends.
