How are the Miner's Fees Calculated?
The calculation of miner fees varies for different blockchains. For example, Ethereum's gas fee is divided into base fee and priority fee, with the calculation formula being: number of gas units used * (base fee + priority fee). Solana's on-chain fees are divided into miner fees and rent (miner fees are fixed and there is no concept of rate bidding and rent is used to store data on the chain), and users cannot increase the probability of their transactions being packaged into the next block by increasing trading fees.
Most networks use a rate bidding mode. When you want orders to be prioritized during operations such as sending, swapping, and inscribing, you can choose a higher gas fee level in the relevant Gate Web3 Wallet interface.
