Nettverksavgifter

Nettverksavgifter, also known as network fees or transaction fees, are charges imposed by blockchain networks to process and validate transactions. These fees are essential for maintaining the security and functionality of decentralized networks. They incentivize miners or validators to include transactions in blocks and ensure that the network remains secure against spam and malicious activities. The amount of the fee can vary depending on the network's congestion and the complexity of the transaction. For example, in Bitcoin, fees are determined by the size of the transaction and the network's demand for block space. In Ethereum, gas fees are calculated based on the computational resources required to execute a transaction. Nettverksavgifter play a crucial role in the economic model of blockchain networks, balancing the needs of users, miners, and the overall health of the network.
