What is Ethereum, and what is it used for?
Ethereum is a decentralized, open-source, and distributed computing platform that enables the creation of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dapps.)
How do I pay for gas, and why am I paying so much?
All transaction fees on Ethereum require “gas”, which is paid with ETH. This means you always need ETH in your wallet in addition to any other currency you receive.
"Gas" is a unit of measurement. It also refers to the cost of having something written on the Ethereum blockchain. "Gas price" refers to the amount of ETH (in a small unit called gwei) that must be paid to validators to process any Ethereum network transaction.
Valora always displays fees clearly, so there are no surprises or hidden costs. While fees fluctuate with demand, Valora works hard to source the best rate.
