The median fee rate in the Lightning Network, derived from the channel graph. On top of a base fee, fees for payments are proportional to the transferred amount. Values here are given in units sat / BTC. E.g., a value of 1000 indicates that a fee of 1000 Satoshi is required to transfer 1 BTC.

This is the Point-in-Time (PiT) variant of Lightning Network Fee Rate (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.
