Cardano collected 3.3 million ADA in transaction fees while recording 493.7 million ADA in staking rewards across the 73 epochs ending Sept. 1, 2026, according to Bitquery’s full-chain count. Fees covered about 0.668% of rewards, leaving the reward total roughly 149.6 times larger than fee revenue.The figures turn Cardano’s fee-replacement question into a measured economic gap. Planned upgrades may give the network enough throughput to process far more activity, while sustainable staking rewards still depend on applications and users generating substantially more fee revenue.Cardano’s fee-reward gap spans two measurement windowsThe Bitquery analysis counted Cardano transactions from the network’s first block…
