A network fee is a charge required to process a transaction on a blockchain. It is paid directly to the network participants (miners or validators), not to Heshket.
Why Do I Pay a Network Fee?
Every time you send cryptocurrency, your transaction must be verified and included in a block on the blockchain.
Network fees are required to:
- process and confirm your transaction
- prioritize it among other pending transactions
- support the security and stability of the network
Without a network fee, your transaction would not be processed.
How Is the Network Fee Calculated?
Network fees are dynamic and may vary depending on several factors:
- Blockchain network — Different networks (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain) have different fee structures
- Network congestion — When many users are sending transactions, fees typically increase
- Transaction complexity — More complex transactions may require higher fees
In general, higher fees can lead to faster confirmation times, while lower fees may result in delays.
Who Receives the Network Fee?
Network fees are not charged or controlled by Heshket.
They are paid directly to miners or validators who process and validate transactions on the blockchain.
Important
- Network fees may change at any time depending on network conditions
- Always select the correct network before sending funds
- Sending assets via an unsupported network may result in permanent loss of funds
- The fee shown before confirming a transaction is an estimate and may vary slightly
