Transaction Fees per Block shows the total transaction fees paid to miners over the day, measured in satoshis. It isolates the fee component of miner compensation, so it tracks native-unit block-space demand rather than subsidy or full miner payout.
A higher reading means users collectively paid more for inclusion. A lower reading means fee demand was weaker or cleared at lower levels. It is most useful with Block Subsidy, Miner Revenue, and fee-rate percentiles, which separate aggregate fee flow from the pricing conditions behind it.
The key distinction is aggregation. This series shows how much users paid in total, not what the typical transaction paid. For that reason it belongs beside fee-rate and per-transaction metrics rather than replacing them.
