Solana Fees Explained
Transaction fees are an important concept within the Web3 world. They are the costs required to execute transactions on the network. Similar to how a car needs gasoline to drive. Most public blockchains denominate these transaction fees in their native currency.
There are a few crucial aspects of transaction fees in public, permissionless networks:
- Every transaction published on a blockchain imposes a cost of downloading, executing and verifying it. People who run a node (validators) spend time, money and effort to do this for which they are compensated. Transaction fees are rewarded to them for providing these services.
- A fee market allows prioritization of transactions by adding a priority fee for validators to process specific transactions more quickly.
- For smart contract platforms, it avoids computational waste in code, by setting limits to resource usage when executing programs.
- Additionally, it prevents accidental or hostile infinite loops, e.g. denial of service ('DDoS') attacks. In a DDoS attack, an attacker tries to flood the network by spamming empty transactions. A fee market ensures that doing such attacks, for an extended period of time, becomes expensive.
