#CryptoFees101 Many newcomers are surprised why the same action in crypto can cost $0.02, and sometimes — $20. The whole issue is in the mechanics of crypto commissions.
In decentralized networks like Ethereum, users pay 'gas' — this is the fee for computational resources. Whether you are using DEXs, DeFi protocols, or simply transferring tokens — each action has its own 'cost' in the form of gas.
And here arises the dilemma: speed or savings? The more you pay, the faster the transaction will be processed. But always paying the 'maximum' is not profitable.
Therefore, one needs to be able to assess the market, choose the right time, and understand the calculation mechanism.
