Fee to Reward Ratio
Cardano
The share of total block-producer compensation for ADA that comes from transaction fees rather than issuance.
Why it matters
It answers how reliant block producers are on user-paid fees versus newly issued supply for their income.
How it is built
Dividing the total transaction fees paid to block producers by their total compensation (fees plus issuance rewards) over a given period.
What to watch
A rising ratio means the network's security is increasingly funded by real usage rather than issuance, which matters for long-run sustainability; a falling ratio means issuance still carries most of the load.
