Why Fee Markets Matter for ETC
As block rewards continue to decrease through ECIP-1017's Fifthening schedule (currently 2.048 ETC per block), transaction fees become increasingly important for miner revenue and long-term network security. A healthy fee market indicates sustainable demand for block space.

Key Milestones
- •Current Era (5): ~2.05 ETC block reward, fees are ~0.01% of miner revenue
- •Era 6 (~2027): ~1.64 ETC block reward, 20% reduction in block rewards
- •Long-term: Fee market will need to grow to maintain miner incentives as block rewards approach zero
