CryptoFees101: Why Are Crypto Fees So High Sometimes?

Ever noticed gas fees spike like crazy? You're not alone. Here's why:

🔥 Network Congestion – Too many users = higher demand for block space.

⛏️ Proof-of-Work Costs – Mining isn't free (hello electricity!).

🧠 Smart Contracts – Complex DeFi transactions require more computational power.

🔄 Token Swaps – Swapping isn't just "click & done" — it touches multiple contracts.

💼 Wallets & Bridges – Each platform can tack on its own fees.
