💸 The $400K Mistake You Really Don’t Want to Make 😵‍💫

In January 2024, someone accidentally paid 220+ ETH—over $400,000—just to send one transaction.

One click. One fee. One brutally expensive lesson. 😬💀

Why This Matters:

⛽ Gas Fees power the network—paying validators and preventing spam.

But they’re dynamic, not fixed. When network traffic spikes, so do the fees. 📈

Set it too low? Your transaction sits there... frozen. 🧊

Set it too high? Congrats—you just tipped the blockchain gods. 🫠

⚠️ Wallets Estimate — But You Should Verify

Most wallets auto-calculate gas fees, but they don’t always get it right.

Always review before hitting confirm.

That unlucky user got a refund (eventually).

You might not.

🔐 Pro Tip:

Two seconds of attention could save your entire portfolio.

Double-check. Every time. âœ
