  3. Transaction Gas Fee Sponsorship & Account Abstraction

Gas Fees Explained

Gas fees refer to the transaction fees required to perform operations on a blockchain network, particularly on platforms that use smart contracts, such as Ethereum. In a blockchain context, "gas" is the unit that measures the amount of computational effort required to execute operations like sending transactions or running smart contracts.

When users initiate a transaction or execute a smart contract on a blockchain, they must pay a certain amount of gas to incentivize miners or validators to process and validate their transactions. The concept is similar to fees in traditional banking systems but operates on a decentralized blockchain network.

The gas fee is determined by factors such as the complexity of the transaction or smart contract and the current network congestion. During periods of high demand, when many users are trying to execute transactions, the gas fees may increase as users compete to have their transactions processed faster.

Gas fees help prevent network abuse and allocate resources efficiently. Users can set the gas price they are willing to pay for a transaction, and miners prioritize transactions with higher gas fees because it represents a higher incentive for them.

It's worth noting that blockchain networks may have different terminologies for transaction fees, and the specifics of how gas fees work can vary between platforms.
