Total priority fees collected across the network per day. Priority fees are optional, set as CU limit × CU price, that users add to jump the queue for block space. They are a key demand signal; spikes track high-activity periods like launches, mints, and liquidation cascades. Since SIMD-0096, 100% goes to the block producer.

What it shows
Total network-wide priority (compute-budget) fees collected each day. Priority fees are optional payments that boost inclusion priority; they are determined by the requested compute unit limit and price, not actual CUs consumed. Post-SIMD-0096 (2025-02-14), 100% of priority fees go to the validator. Pre-SIMD-0096, 50% were burned.
How it is computed
Priority fees are isolated by subtracting the base-fee portion (signatures times 5,000 lamports) from each transaction's total fee. The result is averaged per block, then scaled to a daily total using the day's block count.
Aggregation: Daily total derived from average-per-block multiplied by block count.
Things to know
- Since SIMD-0096 (2025-02-14), 100% of priority fees go to the validator. Before that date, 50% were burned.
- Priority fees are set by the requested compute unit limit and price, not by the actual compute units consumed.
- Non-Jito MEV tips are tracked separately and are not included in this metric.
- USD values are absent when the SOL price feed has a gap longer than one day.
