#CryptoFees101

Crypto fees are small charges you pay to process transactions on a blockchain. Each time you send, trade, or interact with a smart contract, you pay a fee—usually in the blockchain’s native token (like ETH on Ethereum). These fees go to network validators (miners or stakers) who verify and secure the transaction. Fees vary based on network congestion and transaction complexity. For example, sending ETH might cost a few cents, while minting an NFT could cost much more. Some blockchains, like Solana or Polygon, offer very low fees, making them popular for frequent or smaller transactions.
