#CryptoFees101 Many newcomers wonder why the same action in crypto can cost $0.02, and sometimes — $20. The whole issue lies 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 DEXes, DeFi protocols, or just transferring tokens — each action has its own 'cost' in the form of gas.
And here comes 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.
