Most blockchain transactions require the network's native asset for gas or transaction fees.
Key facts for beginners
Main entities and attributes: gas fee, native token, transaction fee, wallet balance, network.
What to check first
Check which network the token is on and which native coin pays fees on that network.
Common mistakes
Beginners often hold only the token they want to send and forget the network fee may require a different asset.
Step-by-step checklist
Identify the network, identify the native gas coin, check fee estimate, add only the needed amount, avoid suspicious fee-unlock pages.
What this does not prove
This problem does not automatically prove that a platform is a scam. It may be caused by fees, network settings, pending processing, minimum limits or normal verification.
Safety note
Never share seed phrases, private keys, wallet backup files or remote access to your device. Avoid platforms that ask for deposits to unlock free rewards.
Be careful with websites that promise unrealistic rewards, ask for deposits before withdrawal, or require suspicious wallet connections. Small reward sites should never need your seed phrase.
FAQ
What is the first thing to check for insufficient funds for network fee explained?
Check the transaction status, payout method, selected network, minimum amount, fees and whether the destination supports the asset.
Is a visible balance the same as crypto received?
No. A dashboard balance is only useful after the funds can be withdrawn or received in a wallet or account you control.
Should I pay a deposit to fix the issue?
No. A separate payment to unlock a free reward or fix a payout problem is a major warning sign.
When should I stop using the site?
Stop if the rules keep changing, support asks for private keys or seed phrases, or the platform adds payment demands before withdrawal.
