比特幣費用主導地位激增挑戰以太坊王位

自2021年以來，比特幣有27天產生的每日費用超過以太坊，其中23天發生在12月以來。比特幣費用的飆升源於 Ordinals NFT 鑄造、BRC-20 代幣交易等活動，以及對 Runes（旨在增強比特幣生態系統的協議）的預期。

Bitcoin Takes the Lead: Surge in On-Chain Fees Challenges Ethereum's Dominance

比特幣領先：鏈上費用激增挑戰以太坊主導地位

Since the inception of layer 1 blockchain networks, Ethereum has reigned supreme, consistently commanding the lion's share of daily transaction fees. However, in a recent turn of events, Bitcoin has emerged as a formidable challenger, giving Ethereum a run for its money.

自第一層區塊鏈網路誕生以來，以太坊一直佔據主導地位，一直佔據著每日交易費用的最大份額。然而，在最近的一系列事件中，比特幣已成為一個強大的挑戰者，與以太坊競爭。

Bitcoin's Fee Surge: A Growing Trend

比特幣費用激增：一個不斷增長的趨勢

According to blockchain analytics firm Artemis, Bitcoin surpassed Ethereum in daily fees generated on Monday, with users paying $9.8 million on Bitcoin compared to $6.4 million on Ethereum. On Tuesday, Bitcoin further extended its lead, amassing $6 million in fees while Ethereum trailed with $4.8 million.

根據區塊鏈分析公司 Artemis 的數據，比特幣週一產生的每日費用超過了以太坊，用戶在比特幣上支付了 980 萬美元，而在以太坊上支付了 640 萬美元。週二，比特幣進一步擴大了領先優勢，收取了 600 萬美元的費用，而以太坊則以 480 萬美元的費用落後。

This trend has persisted throughout much of the past year. Data from Token Terminal reveals that Bitcoin has led Ethereum in daily fees on 27 days since 2021, with a significant surge in dominance occurring between December and the present. This surge underscores the rising fees and heightened demand for transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain.

這一趨勢在過去一年的大部分時間裡一直持續著。 Token Terminal 的數據顯示，自 2021 年以來，比特幣在每日費用方面已連續 27 天領先以太坊，並且從 12 月至今，主導地位大幅上升。這一激增凸顯了比特幣區塊鏈上費用的上漲和交易需求的增加。

Drivers of Bitcoin's Fee Increase

比特幣費用上漲的驅動因素

The increase in Bitcoin's transaction fees stems from a confluence of factors, not merely limited to simple BTC transfers. As Nansen's product marketing manager Journey Li points out, on-chain activities such as minting Ordinals NFTs and trading BRC-20 tokens have also contributed to the fee hike.

比特幣交易費用的增加源自於多種因素的綜合作用，而不僅限於簡單的比特幣轉帳。 Nansen 的產品行銷經理 Journey Li 指出，鑄造 Ordinals NFT 和交易 BRC-20 代幣等鏈上活動也導致了費用上漲。

NFTs and BRC-20 Tokens: New Avenues for Fee Generation

NFT 和 BRC-20 代幣：產生費用的新途徑

Despite its late entry into the NFT market, Bitcoin has quickly gained traction with the launch of Ordinals NFTs. Over the past 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days, NFT trading volume on Bitcoin has surpassed that of Ethereum, according to CryptoSlam. Moreover, Bitcoin now ranks fourth among all-time NFT sales volume, trailing only Ethereum, Solana, and Ronin.

儘管比特幣進入 NFT 市場較晚，但隨著 Ordinals NFT 的推出，比特幣迅速獲得了關注。根據 CryptoSlam 的數據，過去 24 小時、7 天和 30 天，比特幣上的 NFT 交易量已經超過了以太坊。此外，比特幣目前在 NFT 歷史銷售中排名第四，僅次於以太坊、Solana 和 Ronin。

"This is noteworthy considering that Ordinals, the popular NFT standard on Bitcoin, was only launched at the start of 2023," Li said, highlighting Bitcoin's ability to compete with established NFT platforms despite its late arrival.

Li 表示：「考慮到 Ordinals（比特幣流行的 NFT 標準）直到 2023 年初才推出，這一點值得注意。」他強調了比特幣儘管姍姍來遲，但仍有能力與成熟的 NFT 平台競爭。

Furthermore, Bitcoin has tapped into another revenue stream by facilitating the trading of BRC-20 tokens. Unisat, a popular decentralized exchange for trading BRC-20 memecoins, boasts a 24-hour trading volume of $10 million.

此外，比特幣還透過促進 BRC-20 代幣的交易開闢了另一個收入來源。 Unisat 是一家流行的 BRC-20 memecoin 交易去中心化交易所，擁有 1000 萬美元的 24 小時交易量。

Runes: A Potential Game-Changer for Bitcoin's Fungible Token Market

Looking ahead, Li anticipates that Runes, a protocol slated for mainnet release, could further boost Bitcoin's fee income. Runes aims to improve upon BRC-20 tokens by streamlining data usage, providing independence from external data sources, and enhancing privacy.

展望未來，李預計主網發布的 Runes 協議可能會進一步增加比特幣的費用收入。 Runes 旨在透過簡化資料使用、提供對外部資料來源的獨立性以及增強隱私來改善 BRC-20 代幣。

"Bitcoin's market for fungible tokens is small compared to Ethereum and Solana, but with Runes, Bitcoin could close this gap," Li added, highlighting the potential for Bitcoin to expand its dominance in the fungible token market.

Li 補充說：「與以太坊和Solana 相比，比特幣的可替代代幣市場規模較小，但有了Runes，比特幣可以縮小這一差距。」他強調了比特幣擴大其在可替代代幣市場主導地位的潛力。

Conclusion

結論

Bitcoin's recent surge in daily fees, driven by on-chain activities such as NFT minting, BRC-20 token trading, and the upcoming launch of Runes, has challenged Ethereum's long-standing dominance. As Bitcoin's fee income continues to rise, it remains to be seen whether Ethereum will maintain its position as the leader of layer 1 blockchain networks.

在 NFT 鑄造、BRC-20 代幣交易以及即將推出的 Runes 等鏈上活動的推動下，比特幣的日費用最近飆升，對以太坊的長期主導地位構成了挑戰。隨著比特幣的手續費收入持續上升，以太坊是否會保持第一層區塊鏈網路領導者的地位還有待觀察。
