Interpretation

A consistent decrease in Total Block Fees might occur naturally as a result of a decrease in demand for block space. In some circumstances, it may indicative of outages at infrastructure providers that service cryptoasset wallets. For example, when Infura, a popular node-as-a-service provider faces downtime, this can usually be captured by a decrease in Total Block Fees.

Potential Root Causes

Organic decrease in demand for block space. Outage at a critical infrastructure provider preventing nodes from broadcasting transactions.
