Unichain transactions are basically free 💸

Median fees have crashed below every major network:

🔸 $UNI ≪ a cent
🔸 $SOL still ultra-low but higher
🔸 $BASE climbing with activity
🔸 $BNB steady in the sub-penny range
🔸 $BTC sits over a dollar

When users can move value for almost nothing, new onchain use cases open up fast.

Can you give a brief explanation on what "median fees" are ?

I just love the new internet, onchain.
Even better with @base 💯

Median fees are the middle value of all transaction fees during a specific period.
That means 50% of users paid more and 50% paid less.

🔹 Why not use average (mean) fees?
Because a few super high-value transactions (like MEV bots or whales) can skew the average and make it look like fees are higher than what most users actually pay.

🔹 Why median is better:
It filters out extreme outliers and gives a truer picture of what a “typical” user is paying.

📊 So when we talk about median fees, we’re asking:
“What does a normal user pay to send a transaction right now?”

It’s the most accurate way to compare real user costs across blockchains.
