I don't understand why the fee for my blockchain transaction is so exorbitant. It seems unusually high compared to what I've paid in the past.

Each blockchain protocol has its own unique fee structure, designed to balance the need for security, decentralization, and scalability. These fee structures are often dynamic, adjusting based on the current usage levels of the network.

For instance, a blockchain network experiencing a high volume of transactions might implement a fee market where fees are determined by the competition among users to have their transactions prioritized and processed faster.

Cryptocurrency network fees, also known as on-chain fees, undergo fluctuations that are directly tied to the level of activity within the respective blockchain networks.

These fluctuations are a natural consequence of the decentralized and dynamic nature of cryptocurrency networks. As network usage varies, so do the fees required to conduct transactions.

In contrast, a network with lower usage levels might have more stable and predictable fees, as there is less competition for limited processing resources.
