Gas fees are the fees paid to miners to process transactions on a blockchain. Gas fees are paid in the native currency of the blockchain, such as Ether for Ethereum or BNB for Binance Smart Chain. Gas fees are a crucial component of any blockchain transaction and are necessary to ensure that transactions are processed in a timely manner.
Additionally, if you're just starting out and want to test your game or application on a blockchain without incurring real gas fees, you can use a faucet to obtain gas on the Binance Smart Chain testnet. This will allow you to interact with the blockchain and test your application without spending real funds.

Altura's marketplace offers a user-friendly experience that gives players the ability to easily browse and purchase NFT collections within games and creators the stage to showcase their projects to an audience of 50,000 players, increasing the profile and reach of your project.
