Post-merge, they will be sent to validators since validators will be the ones securing the network and replacing miners. Transactions fees is something transaction users/creators need to pay for using the network. The transactions fees are not created out of nothing like rewards are. The transactions fees are deducted from the transactions users/creators wallet. | |

I know that some of the user transactions fees go to miners. Are these transaction fees going to miners "new ether" or is it old ether being given to miners as part of tips or other fees? | |
