Ethereum Forum / ETH Miners are getting a big chunk of the DeFi New Money Flow
« on: February 17, 2021, 11:43:13 PM »
It's not news that the Ethereum gas fees have continued to soar, no thanks to the boom of the DeFi ecosystem. And Ethereum network being the most popular platform for DeFi innovation, the network is always congested which has made gas prices to soar.
Ethereum miners now make more money from gas fees than from block rewards. In January alone, miners made a staggering 830m USD.
The question is: Is this not an attempt to get a lion share of the DeFi boom since they can still confirm transactions for some fractions of the current high gas?
