An Ethereum network fee has two price components: a protocol-set base fee and an optional priority tip for the block proposer.

An Ethereum network fee has two price components: a protocol-set base fee and an optional priority tip for the block proposer. The fee paid is gas actually used multiplied by their combined per-gas price. The base-fee portion is burned; the tip goes to the validator. A wallet's maximum-fee setting is a ceiling, not automatically the amount charged—unused difference is refunded. Separate these network mechanics from an exchange's own trading or withdrawal charges. This is crypto cost education, not a price forecast.
