Tron Overtakes Ethereum As Monthly Average Fees Surge To New Levels

The Tron network, one of the leading blockchains in the market, appears to have regained steam following the renewed bullish sentiment across the crypto sector. Recent data show that the network, especially its fees, has risen sharply to new levels that exceed even those of other chains such as Ethereum.

Ethereum Network Fees Slip Behind Tron

In a sudden advancement, the Tron network has quietly reached a significant milestone in blockchain activity, with its average monthly transaction costs now higher than major chains. Once thought of as a low-cost option, Tron is now charging fees comparable to most well-known blockchains, indicating its rise to prominence as a notable chain in the cryptocurrency world.

Market expert and verified author, Darkfost, revealed a climb in the network’s monthly average fee to a new level at $1.29 in a quick-take post on CryptoQuant. According to the expert, this value has surpassed that of Ethereum, and now closely matches those on the Bitcoin network. 

This sudden spike is likely triggered by a sharp rise in on-chain activity driven by dApps for gaming, stablecoin transfers, and expanding DeFi participation on the Tron network. Darkfost highlighted that the monthly average fee, which has reached parity with Bitcoin at $1.29, implies that the network is currently generating more revenue from fees than Ethereum, largely due to a recent, modest rise in its base transaction costs.

It is worth noting that there has been no slowdown in usage in spite of the surge in the network’s fee. Instead, usage has seen a steady increase following the development.

Tron’s rise in fees is not only driven by protocol-level adjustments. A persistent rise in on-chain transactions has also been observed, bolstering the fees growth as revealed by the expert.

Millions Of Transactions Processed On The Network On A Monthly Basis 

Data shared by Darkfost also shows that the network has now processed over 14 billion transactions in total, with an average of around 8.5 million each month. According to the market expert, these numbers reflect robust user activity and adoption over time.

With over 8.5 million transactions being processed each month, Tron is now drawing steady on-chain volume as a high-throughput ecosystem. The rise in transactions highlights the network’s appeal and scalability, processing day-to-day interactions.

Furthermore, Darkfost noted that the surge in network fees and transaction counts has led to the acceleration of the TRX tokens’ burn rate. This is because a portion of TRX is being consumed in each interaction with the network.

The expert stated that such a dynamic creates a positive feedback loop, whereby increased usage leads to more burns. Meanwhile, in return, it will aid in supply reduction and provide structural support for the price of TRX.
