💸 Gas Fees on Blockchain: Why They Exist & How to Save 💡

Gas fees aren't random, they’re transaction costs paid to validators for securing the network (like Ethereum or Sui). Think of it as paying for traffic space during rush hour 🚦

Why they exist:

🛡️ Secure the network

⚙️ Prevent spam

⛓️ Reward validators


How to save on gas:

⏱️ Transact during low activity (off-peak hours)

🔀 Use Layer 2s or gas-efficient chains (e.g., Sui, Base)

🧠 Batch transactions where possible

🛠️ Use dApps that optimize gas (many wallets help with this)

The future? Many chains are working to reduce or even abstract gas for smoother UX.
