1/5 ⛽
Ethereum gas fees are the fuel of the network, paying for the computation needed to process transactions and smart contracts #Ethereum #GasFees #ningenie #ninx

2/5 ⚙️
Gas fees depend on gas limit × gas price (Gwei) — simple transfers cost less gas than complex smart contracts #ETH #BlockchainBasics #ningenie #ninx

3/5 🔥
After EIP-1559, fees include a base fee (burned) and a priority tip paid to validators to speed up transactions #EIP1559 #CryptoEconomics #ningenie #ninx

4/5 🚦
Fees spike during network congestion as users bid higher to get included faster, similar to an auction system #NetworkCongestion #Web3 #ningenie #ninx

5/5 🧩
You can reduce gas costs using Layer-2 solutions (rollups) or alternative low-fee chains like Polygon or Avalanche #Layer2 #Scaling #ningenie #ninx
