One of the main attractions of cryptocurrencies is the low transfer rates, so a peculiar event is putting a knot in the head of the crypto community: Someone paid R $ 12.7 million in fees to transfer around R $ 600 in ETH.
An address paid just over 10,668 ETH to send just 0.55 ETH. In that order.
That's right what you read, the rate was 21 thousand times higher than the amount transferred. The fact occurred on Wednesday morning (10), according to blockchain explorer Etherscan.

The return address has more than 45,000 ETH at the time of writing, with more than 6,000 transactions carried out.
Thousands of transactions take place about every two minutes, which suggests that it is an exchange.
The transaction paid for an exorbitant fee was recorded in block 10237208 mined by the company Spark Pool.
At the time of publication, an explanation for the millionaire rate, considered astronomically higher than usual, has not been released.
According to Arcane Research, a cryptocurrency analysis company, this is "by far, the highest fee ever paid".
In a publication on Twitter, the mining company said it was investigating the incident and promised that "there will be a solution in the end".
The most accepted theory so far is that there was simply an error.
