Supply-side fees represent the portion of transaction fees that flow to network validators on the Polkadot relay chain. This metric measures the daily USD value of fees earned by validators for block production and transaction validation services. Polkadot implements a fee distribution model where 80% of base transaction fees go to the protocol treasury and 20% are distributed to validators as supply-side rewards. Additionally, 100% of user-paid tips are included in supply-side fees as they represent direct payments to validators for prioritized transaction processing.Learn more
