    At BYDFi, we believe in transparency and providing users with control over their gas fees. When calculating gas fees for cryptocurrency transactions, digital wallets take into account the gas limit and gas price. The gas limit represents the maximum amount of computational work a transaction can use, while the gas price determines the cost per unit of gas. Wallets multiply the gas limit by the gas price to calculate the total fee. However, it's important to note that gas fees can vary depending on network congestion and the demand for computational resources. That's why we offer users the option to adjust the gas price manually, allowing them to prioritize speed or cost efficiency based on their preferences.
