Dynamic Fees

Definition

Dynamic fees are transaction costs that fluctuate based on network conditions, such as congestion or demand. These fees are automatically adjusted by the protocol to ensure transactions are processed efficiently, prioritizing those with higher fee offerings during periods of high network utilization. This mechanism helps to manage network resources and incentivize miners or validators to process transactions promptly. The variability of dynamic fees directly influences the cost of interacting with decentralized applications and transferring digital assets.
