A surge in scam-related activity pushed Ethereum’s daily transaction count to a record high in mid-January 2026, with nearly 2.9 million transactions processed in a single day.

Falling gas fees made these attacks cheaper to execute, inflating network activity figures and masking the true level of organic user demand.
