Gas Fees
Gas fees are transaction costs paid by users to process operations on a blockchain network. They compensate validators or miners for the computational resources required to execute transactions and smart contracts. Gas fees can vary depending on network congestion and demand. On platforms like Ethereum, fees are a critical part of network security and functionality. High gas fees have driven the development of Layer 2 solutions and alternative blockchains.
