Gas Fees / Blockchain Fees

What Are Gas Fees?

When you perform transactions on the blockchain—such as purchasing assets or transferring tokens—you may encounter blockchain fees, commonly known as gas fees. Gas fees are transaction fees paid to blockchain validators for processing and securing transactions.

Every action on the blockchain (such as sending tokens or interacting with smart contracts) requires computational resources. Gas fees compensate the network for this work.

These fees are not charged by Toyow. Instead, they are required to process and validate transactions on the blockchain network.


Why Do Gas Fees Exist?

Gas fees serve several important purposes:

  • Transaction Processing: Ensure your transaction is included in the blockchain

  • Network Security: Incentivize validators to maintain the network

  • Spam Prevention: Prevent misuse or overloading of the network


When Do You Pay Gas Fees?

You may encounter gas fees when:

  • Connecting and transacting via your Web3 wallet

  • Purchasing assets/tokens using crypto

  • Transferring assets/tokens between wallets

  • Interacting with smart contracts


Important Notes

  • Gas fees are non-refundable, even if a transaction fails.

  • Ensure your wallet has enough balance for:

    • Transaction amount

    • Gas fees

  • Always select the correct network to avoid loss of funds.
