NFTs

What is NFT?

Ethereum is a decentralized application platform with smart contract functionality (technology that can be set up to automate transactions, transfers, etc.).
The currency used on Ethereum is called ETH (Ether).

What is a gas fee?

A gas fee is a fee incurred during transactions on the Ethereum blockchain, such as purchasing an NFT, rewriting data, deleting data, and at various other times.

A gas fee always fluctuates depending on the time of day and network congestion.
