Gas fees are network transaction fees which act as the primary incentive and provide rewards to validators on the network. &#x20;

Gas fees are paid directly to the validators and MetaHi has no authority to control or moderate these fees.&#x20;

Through our partnership with Polygon chain, we were able to eliminate nearly all gas fees. In terms of gas costs, MetaHi is among the most efficient marketplaces in operation today.&#x20;
