#CryptoFees101
Many newcomers wonder why the same action in cryptocurrency can cost $0.02, and sometimes - $20. It all depends on the mechanics of cryptocurrency fees.
In decentralized networks, such as Ethereum, users pay "gas" - it is the cost of computational resources. If you use DEX, DeFi protocols, or simply transfer tokens - every action has its own "cost" in the form of gas.
And here arises the dilemma: speed or economy? The more you pay, the faster the transaction will be processed. But always paying the "maximum" - is not advantageous.
So it is necessary to know how to evaluate the market, choose the right moment, and understand the calculation mechanism.
