When To Use fees

• Measure the fee volume users paid on a chain

• Compare chain fee generation over time

When Not To Use fees

• You need app-specific fee volume instead of chain-level fees

Caveats

• The API path uses fees, while the metadata display name is Revenue.

• fees is distinct from app_revenue.
