Crypto Network Fees and Gas Fees Explained

Network fees are costs associated with using a blockchain. They are different from exchange or wallet service fees.

What you are paying for

A network fee compensates the process that includes and validates transactions. Each blockchain uses its own fee model.

Why fees change

Congestion, block space and network mechanics can change the fee required for a given execution priority.

Exchange versus network fees

An exchange may charge a withdrawal fee while the blockchain charges its own network fee. Compare the two separately.

How to avoid mistakes

Check the selected network, fee and destination address before confirming a transfer. Using the wrong network can cause serious problems.

FAQ

Are gas fees the same on every network?

No. Networks use different fee models and experience different demand levels.

Does the exchange always pay the network fee?

It depends on the service and operation. Check the provider's withdrawal screen and fee schedule.
