Gas

Gas is the fee you need to pay to the blockchain network for all kinds of transactions. It goes straight to the “miners” of a blockchain network to compensate for the computing energy they share to solve difficult math puzzles for verifying transactions. High gas fees are the highest when there is a lot of demand on the network. Ethereum’s gas fees are sometimes extremely high because of the huge demand, also because the majority of the Crypto and NFT projects are built on the Ethereum blockchain.
