#CryptoFees101

In September 2023, one unlucky user accidentally paid over $500,000 in gas fees (more than 300 ETH) for a single transaction. 😵

The good news? The mining pool refunded it.

The bad news? Most won’t.

🧠 What Are Crypto Transaction Fees?

In simple terms:

✅ They incentivize validators (miners or stakers) to process your transaction

✅ They prevent spam on the network

On Ethereum, they’re called gas fees.

These aren’t fixed — they move with network demand.

🚩 Why You Should Always Double-Check Fees

Busy network? 💥 Fees spike

Set a fee too low? ❌ Your transaction could hang for hours

Set a fee too high? 💸 You could burn thousands — or more

Most wallets auto-suggest fees, but humans make mistakes (like the $500K one). Always review before you hit Send.
