Gas Fees

Gas fees are transaction costs paid to blockchain validators for processing and confirming transactions. Every blockchain operation — sending tokens, interacting with smart contracts, executing payments — requires gas. Fees vary by network congestion and blockchain.

Why This Matters for Merchants

Zateway operates on low-fee chains (Polygon, Base, BSC, Arbitrum, Optimism, Solana) where gas fees are typically under $0.01 per transaction. This makes crypto payments practical for even small purchases, unlike Ethereum mainnet where fees can exceed $10.
