Gas
The fee paid to include a transaction on a busy network, priced like an auction.
Gas is not a punishment and not a tip jar. On networks like Ethereum, block space is limited. People bid to have their transaction included. When demand is high, the clearing price rises. When demand is quiet, it falls.
A failed or reverted transaction can still cost gas. Set limits you understand. “Cheap” on a quiet Sunday is not a promise about Monday.
