Ethereum games pay over $125,000 fees to miners per week
That is almost 150 ETH (based on current course of $879 per ETH) per week.
How do I know ?
We run a website called DappRadar. It tracks down ethereum games and other dapps (decentralized ethereum apps) and their activity. The data I am sharing with you is not yet publicly accessible in DappRadar, but it will be soon.
What are these fees ?
Ethereum network use Gas, a special unit for calculating fees. One guy in StackExchange said:
Gas is the execution fee for every operation made on ethereum. Its price is expressed in ether and it’s decided by the miners, which can refuse to process transaction with less than a certain gas price. To get gas you simply need to add ether to your account.
Basically, to make a transaction, besides its value you need to spend some gas. The more complex the operation is, the more gas you spend, the higher fee you pay. Just a simple overview of gas so you get the point.
$125,000 per week ?!
Indeed, sounds awesome! Ethereum games and dapps provide such a value and ethereum ecosystem benefits a lot. All these $125,000 dollars are split for miners that are working on confirming transactions.
