It involves measuring the fee in satoshis, which is a fractional unit of Bitcoin, per unit of data consumed by your transaction.

This measurement is abbreviated as sats/vByte, signifying the number of satoshis required for every virtual byte of data utilized.

The total fee you pay for your transaction is derived by multiplying this rate by the size of your transaction, taking into account the amount of data it consumes.
