Interpretation

A decrease in transaction count may be caused organically by seasonal decreases in demand, or may be a result of more concerning circumstances. If, for example, validators are censoring a specific type of transaction, blocks would not be fully empty, but transaction count would decrease.

Potential Root Causes

Natural drop in demand for block space, which tends to be seasonal. Potential censorship at the block producer level.
