The median base fee in the Lightning Network in Satoshi (USD), derived from the channel graph. Base fees are fees that have to be paid for each payment that is routed through the channel. For payments between two peers that share a direct channel connection no fees have to be spent.

This is the Point-in-Time (PiT) variant of Lightning Network Base Fee (Median). PiT metrics are strictly append-only and their history is immutable. The historic data does not necessarily reflect the best current knowledge, but the information at the time when a data point was first computed. PiT metrics are ideal candidates for applications in model backtesting and related quantitative purposes. Read our article on PiT metrics for more information.
