AI take
The striking detail is the near-empty fee take alongside a near-full block: capacity was consumed, but the market for block space clearly wasn't bidding up. That points to a burst of low-value or batched transactions rather than congestion-driven demand, a distinction that matters for anyone reading block fullness as a demand signal. Whether fee-light, weight-maxed blocks become a recurring pattern, and what is driving the transaction volume, is the open question worth watching.
