All published, unprotected stories in this project’s category are available through these pages. Official publications cover the last 180 days of our tracked sources. Publication entries use publication dates. Market entries use the source observation time, with one record per UTC day.

BENEATH THE HEADLINES

The observations, in context.

Observed block26,320,451Observed · 01 Nov 2026, 14:15 UTC

High gas estimate27.05 GweiObserved · 01 Nov 2026, 14:15 UTC

Node observations have limited scope: queued or pending transactions are not network-wide totals. A block’s transactions are not daily activity. Fee estimates and resource prices are distinct from the total cost of a transaction. Protocol fees and revenue describe the named protocol version, not the token’s price or an investor’s return; versions are not summed.

READ THE CONTEXT

About this dossier.

Ethereum · ETH

This dossier follows the project through our published coverage and the observations available for its verified identity. It updates as new information enters our collections.

Assets, networks and protocols are different entities. We do not assign a host network’s activity to every token issued on it.

Last observed in the daily selection: 01 Nov 2026 00:07 UTC. Leaving the top 50 does not remove this dossier or its news archive.
