Τι μετρά
Lightning Network Median Base Fee takes the middle of observed advertised fixed routing charges, measured in satoshis (sats). The base fee is the fixed component charged for forwarding a payment, separate from the proportional fee that depends on the amount forwarded.
Πώς διαβάζεται
A lower median means the middle fixed charge is cheaper, which matters especially for small payments. The series has often been at 1 sat and recorded a low of 0 on March 20, 2023; its full-history median is 1 sat. Flat readings can persist even as fees away from the midpoint change.
This is a median of advertised policies, not a payment-weighted record of fees actually paid. A route can contain multiple fee-charging hops, and each can also charge a proportional fee. A zero base fee therefore does not mean an end-to-end payment is free.

Συχνές ερωτήσεις
Why can the base fee be less than one satoshi?
Lightning can express routing fees in millisatoshis, where 1,000 millisatoshis equal 1 satoshi. A displayed value of 0.001 sat therefore represents one millisatoshi rather than a rounding error.
How does the base fee differ from the proportional fee?
The base fee is fixed for forwarding a payment, while the proportional part scales with the forwarded amount. The routing charge at a hop combines those components, so small payments are more sensitive to a nonzero base fee.
Does a median of 1 sat mean every payment costs 1 sat?
No. It is the midpoint of observed fixed-fee policies, not a quote for an entire route. Actual cost depends on which hops are used, their proportional rates and the payment amount.
