Ethereum just hit an all-time high in daily gas usage!

149,673,860,000 gas used on July 21, 2025 – the most ever recorded in a single day.

Let’s break down what this means 👇

Gas is the fuel that powers Ethereum.

Each smart contract interaction, NFT mint, staking, DEX trade, and stablecoin transfer, it all consumes gas.

So, this chart doesn’t just measure activity. It reflects real usage, demand, and adoption.

Gas usage has been steadily rising since Ethereum launched in 2015.
From just a few million gas/ per day in early years → To over 149 billion now.

And, as we see this growth is sustained and organic.

This milestone shows one thing clearly:
Ethereum is thriving. More apps, more users, more real-world value flowing onchain.

And this record? It’s just the beginning of a seamless journey.
