Each blockchain is a network: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, BSC.
Network fee
To record a transaction, the network charges a fee. It is paid in the network's own coin and changes according to activity:
- Some networks are cheap and fast.
- Others become expensive during high-usage times.
How to save
- Choose a low-fee network that both your origin and destination accept.
- Combine amounts: sending once is cheaper than sending multiple times.
On SnowBridge
Receiving has no fee. When sending, the fee appears on the screen before confirming.
Summary
- Each network charges its own fee, which varies with usage.
- Choose a cheap network accepted by both origin and destination.
