Why are "Median transaction fees" and "Median transaction fees in USD" important?
Median fees reflect the typical user cost level, removing the influence of extremely high or low values that can materially distort the mean. Unlike the mean fee, the median shows what a "typical" participant pays and is not skewed by individual transactions with abnormally high fees.
The native-currency metric helps analyze the fee structure within the network, while the USD value makes costs comparable over time and across different blockchains.
