So many people don't know what's gas fee and purpose of gas fee on the blockchain. A Thread ๐งต In blockchain technology, a gas fee is a payment or a transaction fee required to process and validate transactions on a blockchain network. It's called "gas" because it's the fuel that powers the execution of transactions and smart contracts. Here's a breakdown: 1. *Gas*: A unit of measurement for the computational effort required to execute transactions and smart contracts. 2. *Gas fee*: The amount of cryptocurrency (e.g., Ether in Ethereum) paid to validators (miners or nodes) for processing transactions and smart contracts. Gas fees serve several purposes: 1. *Incentivize validators*: Gas fees reward validators for their work in verifying transactions and maintaining the network. 2. *Prevent spam*: Gas fees prevent malicious actors from flooding the network with unnecessary transactions. 3. *Prioritize transactions*: Higher gas fees can prioritize transactions, ensuring faster processing times.
