Network Fee
A fee you pay to a blockchain network for transferring a digital asset on that network. The fees go to the miners or validators of that blockchain network who win the right or are chosen by the validation mechanism to ultimately confirm your transactions and add to the blockchain.
Example
“A user sending 0.5 ETH paid a network fee of $12 in gas to have the transaction validated and recorded on the Ethereum blockchain.”
