Real-time fees are transaction costs calculated and applied instantly at the moment a digital asset transaction is initiated or processed. These fees can fluctuate based on network congestion, demand for block space, or the specific computational resources required for a transaction. Their dynamic nature provides immediate feedback on network conditions. This pricing model aims to optimize network resource allocation.
