 <li style="font-weight: 400">Post-halving, Bitcoin (BTC) transaction fees surge, driving users to search cheaper alternatives.</li>
</ul>
After the recent Bitcoin halving, transaction fees skyrocketed, hitting over $100 this past weekend, causing concern among users.
The cost surge led to increased searches for “Bitcoin fees” on Google Trends and social media discussions on Santiment, indicating widespread user issues and financial disruptions.
On April 20th, interest in “Bitcoin fees” peaked on <a href="https://trends.google.com/trends/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Google Trends</a>, marking the highest search activity for the month, while Sentiment showed similar spikes in social media mentions.&nbsp;
Before this, interest levels were consistently low, highlighting the sudden public focus due to escalating transaction costs.

The high fees reached a record of $127.97 on April 20th, resulting in over half of all Bitcoin addresses being inactive.
The owners of these addresses couldn’t afford transactions, as their balances fell below 0.001 BTC—half of the average fee—leading to what is known as “dust” in the crypto community.
The situation prompted discussions about alternatives to Bitcoin that offer lower transaction fees.
Vik Sharma, founder of Cake Wallet, mentioned using cryptocurrencies like Monero (XMR), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Nano (XNO), and Tether (USDT) on Polygon due to their more manageable fees. Notably, Nano offers a zero-fee transaction model as a practical solution to high fees.
Currently, Bitcoin fees have decreased to an average of around $25 per transaction.
This reduction relieves users, but the issue of high and fluctuating fees remains a critical concern within the cryptocurrency community.

This situation illustrates the ongoing challenges in managing cryptocurrency networks, particularly concerning fee structures that impact usability and adoption.
The emergence of alternative cryptocurrencies suggests potential pathways to more equitable and efficient blockchain networks.
