#GasFeeImpact GasFeeImpact Gas fees are the transaction costs you pay when using a blockchain. They cover the work done by miners or validators to process transactions. When networks get busy, fees go up, making small trades expensive. This impacts crypto markets by discouraging traders and pushing them to cheaper alternatives like Solana or Binance Smart Chain. High fees also slow down DeFi growth and NFT trading. Some blockchains use Layer 2 solutions to reduce costs, but unpredictable fees remain a challenge. Lower gas fees mean more users, smoother trading, and a better experience, while high fees can drive people away.
