Fee estimates now print below 1 sat/vB; economy read 1, not 0.20

1 Oct 2026 · Fee estimates and the queue

The desk read mempool.space's whole-number recommendation, which pads every rate up to a whole sat/vB, so estimates under 1 printed as 1 and the fee ladder drew equal bars. It now reads the precise estimator and prints two places under 10 sat/vB. Read together at 23:07 UTC on 30 September, the whole-number endpoint gave 1 for every rate; the precise estimator gave next block 1.02, half an hour 0.67, an hour 0.35, economy 0.20 and minimum 0.10 sat/vB, so economy 1 → 0.20. The ticker's next-block fee, the Settlement Bench and the mining desk's fee readings moved with it, and the pressure reading now uses the precise next-block rate.
