When using digital currencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, you often encounter something known as "fees". These fees are not random; they play an important role in operating the network and incentivizing participants. Here’s a quick look at the most important things to know:
✅ What are digital currency fees?
Digital currency fees are small amounts paid when sending or executing a transaction on a blockchain network. Fees vary depending on the currency, network activity, and the type of transaction.
🔍 Why are fees charged?
1. Compensate miners or validators who process transactions.
2. Prevent spam or attacks by reducing unnecessary transactions.
3. Improve execution speed – the higher the fee, the greater the priority of the transaction.
