#GasFeeImpact Gas fees refer to the transaction fees paid to miners (or validators) to process and validate transactions on a blockchain network, with Ethereum being the most notable.

The **impact of gas fees** can be significant in several ways:

1. **Transaction Costs**: High gas fees can make it expensive to interact with decentralized applications (DApps), especially on congested networks. This can make small transactions or microtransactions uneconomical.

2. **User Experience**: High gas fees can deter users from participating in blockchain platforms if they feel that the cost outweighs the benefits. This can affect the adoption of cryptocurrencies or decentralized finance (DeFi) services.
