Good morning Ethereum and Base community! 🌅
Ethereum network is delivering record-breaking performance in early 2026. Here are the latest developments clearly summarized:
Transaction fees at historic lows: Average fees are ranging between $0.14–$0.39 (daily averages around $0.23, dropping as low as $0.15 in some hours). This marks the lowest level in 9 years. Achieved thanks to the Dencun, Pectra, and Fusaka upgrades, the gas limit increase to 36 million, and Layer 2 solutions (especially Base, Arbitrum, Optimism) effectively offloading the main chain.
Daily transaction record broken: In January 2026, the network hit an all-time high of 2.89 million daily transactions (7-day average between 2.5–2.8 million). Network capacity has significantly expanded.
The Ethereum and Base ecosystem is faster, cheaper, and more accessible than ever. What do you think this momentum will bring in 2026? 🔥
