The transaction failed… so why were fees charged?
On the Ethereum network, gas fees pay for computational work, not for a successful transaction. If a transaction is included in a block and then fails to execute, fees may still be charged even though the transfer or swap was not completed.
Hypothetical example: a failed transaction used 50,000 units of gas at an effective price of 10 gwei per unit:
Fee = 0.0005 ETH.
These are illustrative figures, not current network fees; gwei is one billionth of an ETH.
An important distinction: a transaction rejected before being included in a block does not consume gas on the network. But running out of gas during execution consumes the entire allocated limit, while the transaction’s changes are reverted.
Before confirming, review the fee estimate and wallet warnings, and don’t randomly lower the gas limit to save money. After a failure, check the error in a network explorer before trying again.
Increasing the gas limit won’t fix every error; you may pay fees again if the underlying cause remains. This concerns network transactions, not trading fees within a platform.
