Gas fees
6 minute read · intermediate
Gas is the fee paid to include a transaction on a network. It is not a JC fee. Amounts move with congestion.
A wallet prompt that shows an unexpected network or a huge fee is a stop sign. Reject it.
Failed transactions can still cost gas. Test with a tiny amount on a network you chose, not one a pop-up chose for you.
JC convert and market pages do not submit transactions. If a site claiming to be JC asks you to pay gas to claim, it is fake.
Wallet safety
