Ethereum's mainnet recently achieved an all-time high of 2.9 million daily transactions, driven by a surge in active addresses and historically low gas fees. However, a significant portion of this activity is linked to industrial-scale address poisoning scams that exploit cheap transactions to flood the network with malicious, dust transactions. Despite the network upgrades that lowered fees and increased throughput, much of the recent growth does not reflect organic user demand and poses risks to retail users.
