Gas Fee
A small fee you pay to process a transaction on a blockchain network.
A Gas Fee is the transaction cost you pay
to use a blockchain network like Ethereum, Solana, or BNB Chain.
It’s what rewards the validators or miners
who process and secure your transaction.
How it works
- Every time you send crypto, swap tokens, or use a dApp,
you pay a small gas fee. - The fee depends on network traffic —
when the network is busy, gas prices rise. - Fees are paid in the network’s native coin
(e.g., ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana).
Why it matters
Gas fees ensure that blockchains stay secure and spam-free.
They also remind users that every on-chain action costs real resources.
💡 Lanzo Tip
Before confirming a transaction, always check the estimated gas fee.
