Question 1

What are Moonriver gas fees?

Accepted Answer

Moonriver gas fees are the transaction costs paid to validators who process and confirm operations on the Moonriver network. Moonriver uses a legacy fee model where the total cost is determined by a single gas price multiplied by the gas units consumed. The cost of a standard transfer (21,000 gas) varies depending on current network congestion and token price.
