What Are Network Fees (Gas Fees) and Why Should I Pay It?
2024-11-08 02:35
1. What is a network fee?
A network fee (also called gas fee) is the small amount you pay when using a blockchain. It’s similar to a service or handling fee.
Every blockchain requires this fee to process your transaction. For example:
On BNB Smart Chain, you pay in BNB
On Ethereum, you pay in ETH
On TRON, you pay in TRX
Think of it like a toll road — you’re using shared infrastructure, and a small fee is needed to keep the network running.
2. Why do I have to pay a network fee?
Blockchains don’t have a central server. Instead, thousands of independent computers (called validators) work together to process transactions and keep the network secure.
The network fee is a reward you give to these validators, so they include your transaction on the blockchain.
Important: None of the network fee goes to Binance. It goes to the blockchain network.
3. Who decides how much the network fee will be?
Network fees are decided by the network, which are dynamic and may change based on demand. If a lot of transactions were submitted at the same time, the network fee may go up, and vice versa.
Binance Wallet will automatically calculate the optimal network fee based on the network conditions.
4. What if I don’t have enough gas tokens?
If you don’t have enough gas tokens (like BNB, ETH, SOL, etc.), your transaction won’t go through. Here are a few ways we are offering to fix it:
Option 1: Transfer gas tokens from Binance Exchange
Buy some gas tokens (e.g. BNB, ETH, SOL, etc.) in Binance Exchange
Go to Binance Wallet, and switch to the Assets page, click Receive button, choose Withdraw from Binance Exchange
Select the correct token and network
Double check the address and network before withdrawing
If your gas token balance is too low, you won’t be able to make transactions
If you manually set a very high gas fee, try lowering it
5. Why are gas fees sometimes high and sometimes low?
Gas fees are not fixed. They depend on how busy the network is.
For EVM chains (BNB Smart Chain, Ethereum, Base, etc.) and Solana:
When more users are sending transactions, the network becomes congested
Everyone tries to pay a bit more gas to get processed faster (people offer to pay more gas to jump the line)
This drives the gas price up
When fewer people are using the network, gas fees go down.
For TRON:
TRON uses a different system based on resources, called Resource Model. It includes bandwidth and energy. Generally, you need resources to initiate transactions.
When you call a smart contract (e.g. transfer tokens to another address):
The contract creator may cover part of the energy cost
If they don’t have enough energy, you pay the full cost
TRON gives free daily bandwidth/energy, and you can also stake TRXor rent energy to get more
If you have enough resources, they will be used to pay for the network fee. However, if you don’t have enough resources, your TRX will be burned to pay for the transaction.
That’s why one token transfer may cost 0.5 TRX, and another might cost 25 TRX.
