Minimal Transaction Cost

Definition

Minimal Transaction Cost refers to the objective of executing financial or data operations on a blockchain with the lowest possible fees. These costs, often termed “gas fees,” compensate network validators for processing and securing transactions. Achieving minimal costs is critical for microtransactions, high-frequency trading, and widespread adoption of decentralized applications. Protocols designed for efficiency prioritize reducing these overheads to enhance user experience and economic viability.
