比特币交易费用创下历史新高，反映出区块空间需求不断上升

比特币交易费用最近飙升至史无前例的 8000 万美元，超过了 2017 年创下的纪录。这种费用飙升导致平均交易成本达到 128 美元，引发了关于比特币和以太坊网络之间区块空间相对需求的争论。

Bitcoin Transaction Fees Surge to Record Highs, Signaling Increased Demand for Block Space

比特币交易费用飙升至历史新高，表明对区块空间的需求增加

Bitcoin (BTC) miners are reaping the rewards of the recent halving, as transaction fees have skyrocketed to unprecedented levels. On April 20th, BTC fees reached a record high of over $80 million, eclipsing the previous peak set in 2017.

随着交易费用飙升至前所未有的水平，比特币（BTC）矿工正在收获最近减半的回报。 4 月 20 日，BTC 费用创下超过 8000 万美元的历史新高，超过了 2017 年创下的峰值。

According to Lucas Outumuro, Head of Research at IntoTheBlock, the daily fee revenue of $80 million is approximately four times higher than the previous all-time high set in December 2017. The average BTC transaction fee stood at a staggering $128, dwarfing the $30 peak reached during the first Ordinals frenzy.

IntoTheBlock 研究主管 Lucas Outumuro 表示，每日手续费收入为 8000 万美元，大约是 2017 年 12 月创下的历史新高的四倍。BTC 平均交易费用达到惊人的 128 美元，与 30 美元的峰值相形见绌。在第一届枢机主教狂热期间达到。

The surge in transaction fees has ignited a debate on the demand for block space between Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin networks. A pseudonymous crypto analyst pointed out that BTC's higher-than-normal average fees of $128 indicate that the Bitcoin network currently has more demand for block space than Ethereum.

交易费用的飙升引发了关于以太坊（ETH）和比特币网络之间区块空间需求的争论。一位匿名加密货币分析师指出，BTC 的平均费用高于正常水平 128 美元，这表明比特币网络目前对区块空间的需求比以太坊更大。

"The average fee to send value on the Ethereum network is about $0.50 right now (single digits gwei). On the Bitcoin network, it's $20. That's a 40x difference in demand for BTC blockspace. Huge alpha there," the analyst stated.

“目前在以太坊网络上发送价值的平均费用约为 0.50 美元（个位数 gwei）。在比特币网络上，这一费用为 20 美元。这与 BTC 区块空间的需求相差 40 倍。这是巨大的阿尔法，”分析师表示。

However, it's important to note that the spike in BTC fees coincided with the launch of Runes Protocol, a new Bitcoin fungible token standard. Adriano Feria, another industry observer, downplayed Bitcoin's higher fees and attributed them to the shortcomings of the Lightning Network (LN) and the lack of viable alternatives.

然而，值得注意的是，比特币费用的飙升与符文协议（一种新的比特币可替代代币标准）的推出同时发生。另一位行业观察家阿德里亚诺·费里亚（Adriano Feria）淡化了比特币较高的费用，并将其归因于闪电网络（LN）的缺点和缺乏可行的替代方案。

"BTC's fees are still $20 because LN (Lightning Network) is garbage, and there are no other alternatives," Feria said.

“BTC 的费用仍然是 20 美元，因为 LN（闪电网络）是垃圾，而且没有其他选择，”Feria 说。

Feria also highlighted that Ethereum's introduction of blobs has shifted demand to layer-2 (L2) solutions.

Feria 还强调，以太坊引入 blob 已将需求转向第 2 层 (L2) 解决方案。

"Demand for transactions secured by ETH are at an ATH, but they are just shifting to L2s," Feria explained.

Feria 解释说：“对 ETH 担保的交易的需求已经达到了 ATH，但它们只是转向了 L2。”

Despite these observations, other analysts and executives anticipate that Bitcoin transaction fees will continue to rise as Runes Protocol gains traction and BTC L2s heat up. Outumuro attributed the impact of Runes on BTC fees to its ability to generate high-fee transactions.

尽管有这些观察结果，其他分析师和高管预计，随着 Runes Protocol 的吸引力和 BTC L2 的升温，比特币交易费用将继续上涨。 Outumuro 将 Runes 对 BTC 费用的影响归因于其产生高费用交易的能力。

"24 hours after the halving, inflationary rewards have dropped by 50%, but transaction fees spiked 1,200% due to Runes. Miners made a record $100M+ in revenue on 4/20," Outumuro said.

“减半后 24 小时，通货膨胀奖励下降了 50%，但由于符文，交易费用飙升了 1,200%。4 月 20 日，矿工收入创纪录地超过 1 亿美元，”Outumuro 说。

Currently, Runes Protocol is dominated by memecoins. However, the upcoming Nakamoto upgrade to Stacks (STX), a Bitcoin layer-2 scaling solution, is expected to further fuel activity and fees on the network.

目前，符文协议以模因币为主。然而，中本聪即将对 Stacks（STX）（一种比特币第 2 层扩展解决方案）进行升级，预计将进一步推动网络上的活动和费用。

"Remember when we told you that Bitcoin fees will do a 500x? Yeah, we've been working on Bitcoin L2s for a reason. Happy halving, everyone! Next stop, Nakamoto," said Ali Muneeb, co-founder of Stacks.

Stacks 联合创始人 Ali Muneeb 表示：“还记得我们告诉过你比特币费用将增加 500 倍吗？是的，我们一直致力于比特币 L2 的开发是有原因的。大家减半快乐！下一站，中本聪。”

Merlin Chain, another BTC L2, went live on April 19th and now leads in terms of Total Value Locked (TVL) according to DefiLlama data.

另一种 BTC L2 的 Merlin Chain 于 4 月 19 日上线，根据 DefiLlama 的数据，目前在锁定总价值（TVL）方面处于领先地位。

If the BTC L2 ecosystem reignites interest in the network, transaction fees could remain elevated. This surge in fees signals an increased demand for block space on the Bitcoin network and underscores the potential for further growth in the BTC L2 ecosystem.

如果 BTC L2 生态系统重新激发人们对网络的兴趣，交易费用可能会继续上涨。费用的激增标志着比特币网络上区块空间的需求增加，并强调了 BTC L2 生态系统进一步增长的潜力。
