When a user sends a Bitcoin transaction, they must attach a fee to it. This fee is paid to the miner who successfully adds the transaction to the blockchain.

The amount of the fee is determined by the user and can vary depending on factors such as the size of the transaction, the current demand for mining services, and the desired speed of confirmation.

A higher fee can encourage miners to prioritize a transaction, resulting in faster confirmation times. Conversely, a lower fee may cause a transaction to wait longer for confirmation.
