About
What it answers, and for whom.
Every Ethereum transaction burns its base fee and every blob burns its blob base fee, so each unit of ETH destroyed can be traced to the transaction that paid it. This leaderboard ranks the contracts behind the burn: the DEX routers, stablecoins, bridges, bots and rollups whose transactions destroyed the most ETH over the last day, week and month.
It is the drill-down behind the supply question. When the burn falls short of issuance, ETH supply grows, and this table shows which kinds of activity still burn the most and which have moved to layer 2s. Spam waves, airdrop claims and token launches appear as sudden new entries, and their share of the total shows how much one event drove.
Each row links to the reads behind it: the block range, the receipts summed and the base fee of every block, so a ranking can be checked rather than taken on trust.
Method
How it will be measured.
Every figure will be read at a block, kept with its source and its exact read, and open a receipt anyone can re-check.
How receipts work →- ETH burned by a transaction is its gas used times the base fee per gas of its block, read from the transaction receipt and the block header.
- Each burn is credited to the transaction's to address; a contract creation is credited to the new contract, and plain ETH transfers between wallets form one row of their own.
- Blob fees are the blob gas used times the blob base fee of the block, credited to the sender of each blob transaction and labelled to its rollup.
- Windows are the last day, 7 days and 30 days ending at a finalized block, and every row carries the block range and the totals behind it.

Questions
Questions people ask.
Why is ETH burned at all?
Since EIP-1559, the base fee of every transaction is destroyed instead of being paid to the block proposer. The protocol sets the base fee from how full recent blocks were, so the burn rises with demand for block space and falls when blocks are empty.
Which apps burn the most ETH?
It changes with what people do on Ethereum. DEX routers, stablecoin transfers, bridges and trading bots usually sit near the top, while a large token launch or a spam wave can lead the table for a day. The leaderboard shows the ranking for each window rather than a fixed list.
Do rollups burn ETH?
Yes. When a rollup posts its data to Ethereum it pays blob fees, and the blob base fee is burned like the regular base fee. Those rows are labelled by rollup and kept apart from ordinary contract calls, because blob gas is priced in a fee market of its own.
Why does a busy contract sometimes burn little?
Burn is gas times the base fee at the moment the gas is used. A contract used heavily at quiet hours, when the base fee is low, burns less than one used during spikes. The gas guzzlers table ranks contracts by gas used instead, which ignores the price.
Are priority fees included?
No. Priority fees, or tips, go to block proposers and are never burned, so they are left out of the ranking. The network revenue page shows tips beside the burn for the same days.
- Base fee
- The protocol-set price per unit of gas that every transaction in a block pays, adjusted block by block and destroyed when paid.
- Blob base fee
- The price per unit of blob gas for the data blobs rollups post to Ethereum, set by its own fee market and burned like the base fee.
- To address
- The account a transaction calls directly. For most app activity it is the app's router or main contract.
