Quick answer

Network fees are what you pay a blockchain to process a transaction. The mechanics differ by chain but the idea is the same everywhere.

What it means

Network fees pay the network to process your transaction. The core idea is universal across chains: every action costs a small fee, and paying more can get you processed faster when the network is busy.

Why it matters

Understanding fees helps you estimate transaction costs, especially during high-activity periods.
