What is a gas fee?

A gas fee is a payment made by users to cover the computational energy required to process and validate transactions on a blockchain network.

What factors influence the gas fee? 

The complexity of the transaction and the current network congestion affect the gas fee.

Why are gas fees important?

Higher gas fees can prioritize transactions, ensuring faster processing, while lower fees may result in slower transaction times. Customizing gas fees allows users to manage costs and timing effectively.

What is a gas limit?

This is the maximum amount of gas a user is willing to spend on a transaction. Setting an appropriate gas limit ensures that the transaction has enough computational power to complete without running out of gas.

How does the gas fee affect transaction priority?

Transactions with higher gas fees are typically processed faster because miners are incentivized to include transactions that offer higher rewards.

What is the difference between gas price and gas limit? 

Gas price is the amount you're willing to pay per unit of gas, while the gas limit is the maximum amount of gas you’re willing to spend on a transaction.

Can I customize my gas fee? 

Yes, you can customize your gas fee by setting the gas price and gas limit to manage costs and transaction speed.

What happens if I set my gas fee too low? 

If the gas fee is too low, your transaction may be delayed or not processed at all, especially during high network congestion.

Where can I check current gas fees? 

You can check current gas fees on blockchain explorers like https://mempool.space which provide real-time data on network congestion and fee estimates.

Why is my Tron address "inactive"?

Tron addresses are considered "inactive" if they have not participated in any transactions, including sending or receiving TRX or other tokens on the Tron network. To activate the address, you need to make a transaction, such as sending a small amount of TRX to another address.
