The article discusses dark-fee transactions, which are opaque payments made to mining pools for quicker transaction confirmations. These transactions are gaining traction, especially in times of network congestion, as they allow users to bypass the public competition for transaction fees. Operators of large mining pools frequently promote these services, indicating a trend towards non-transparent fee structures that could have implications for transaction prioritization and overall transparency in blockchain systems. This raises questions about governance and equitable access in decentralized finance environments.
Dark-fee transactions, which refer to side-channel payments to miners for quicker transaction confirmations, hide fees from public view, offering advantages in periods of congestion.
These transactions allow users to avoid competition in fee rates during high congestion, ensuring faster confirmation while obscuring the costs from the larger network.
