Tron’s recent decision to lower transaction fees has had a significant impact on the revenue of its block producers, known as Super Representatives. According to a report by CryptoQuant, the total daily fees for these producers fell to $5 million on September 7, a 64% drop from $13.9 million just before the new fees were implemented.
The fee reduction was the result of a community vote on Tron Proposal #789, which slashed the energy unit price from 210 sun to 100 sun. The proposal’s creator, GrothenDI, argued that lower fees would ensure the network’s long-term health and attract more users. On-chain data confirms that average gas fees on the network have decreased by 60%.
Despite this revenue drop, Tron continues to be a leader in the blockchain space. Data from Token Terminal shows that Tron still generates the most revenue among layer-1 blockchains. Over the past seven days, it captured 92.8% of the total revenue in this category, outperforming major competitors like Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain. While Ethereum still holds the lead in historical revenue, Tron has generated $1.1 billion in fees over the last 90 days alone.
