🎯 #CryptoFees101 | Understanding cryptocurrency fees simply!
🚀 Have you ever entered the crypto world and said: "Why are the fees so high?!" 🤯
Let me explain the topic in the simplest way:
💰 First: What does "fees" mean in crypto?
It's the small amount you pay for your transaction to go through on the blockchain.
✅ It's not a scam, it's a reward for the people who confirm your transaction (the miners or validators).
⚙️ A simple example:
Transferring on Ethereum?
🔹 You pay something called GAS = the energy required to run the process.
The busier the network = the price skyrockets 🚦🔥
📊 Types of fees based on the network:
| Network | Fees | Quick Notes ⚡ |
|------------|----------------|------------------|
| Bitcoin | Network Fee | Based on block size ⛏️ |
| Ethereum | Gas Fee | Based on activity and contracts 🔥 |
| Solana | Transaction Fee| Almost free 🧊 |
🧠 So, how can I save on fees? ✨ Here’s the trick:
⏰ Transfer during off-peak hours (like early morning 😴).
🪂 Use fast and cheap networks (Polygon, Arbitrum, Solana).
🧮 Adjust the fee settings from your wallet (there's an option for "Custom Fee").
