What are gas fees?
Gas fees are transaction costs users pay to interact with blockchains — particularly those that support smart contracts, like Ethereum.


hat do gas fees cover?

  • They pay network validators to process and confirm transactions.

  • They prevent spam by requiring a cost for using the network.

  • Fees vary depending on network congestion and transaction complexity.

For example:

  • Sending ETH = simple transaction = low gas

  • Minting an NFT or executing a smart contract = complex = higher gas

Gas fees are denominated in the blockchain’s native currency (e.g., ETH on Ethereum, MATIC on Polygon).

How can you save on gas?

  • Use Layer 2 solutions (e.g., Arbitrum, Optimism)

  • Choose less congested times to transact

  • Set custom gas limits or use platforms with dynamic fee estimators

Some chains (like Solana or Avalanche) offer near-zero fees, which is why they’re popular for high-volume apps.
