About This Dataset
Ethereum: base fee, priority fee percentiles, gas utilization per block. Solana: priority fee percentiles, base fee, TPS. Essential for execution cost modeling.
Partitions
chain:
ethereum, solanaSchema
| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
time_chain | timestamp | Block/slot timestamp (UTC) |
time_local | timestamp | Ingestion timestamp (UTC) |
base_fee | float64 | Base fee (gwei for ETH, lamports for SOL) |
p50_priority_fee | float64 | Median priority fee |
p90_priority_fee | float64 | 90th percentile priority fee |
congestion_status | string | NORMAL, HIGH, or SEVERE |
tx_count | float64 | Transactions per block/sample |
Use Cases
- Model execution costs for trading strategies
- Detect network congestion events correlated with volatility
- Optimize transaction timing based on fee patterns
- Compare Ethereum vs Solana execution economics
