Gas Fees, also called Network Fees, are a fundamental part of how blockchain and cryptocurrencies work. This page helps you understand what those fees are, why they exist, and who they go to. At CosmoTitan, we are committed to complete transparency, so you always know exactly what you're paying for.
What Are Gas Fees?
Every time you perform an action on a blockchain — like creating a token or sending cryptocurrency — it needs to be processed and recorded. This work is done by decentralized computers called validators (or miners, depending on the network). These validators confirm your actions and add them to the blockchain.
To reward validators for their work and to keep the network running smoothly, users pay a small fee called a gas fee. You can think of it like a delivery or processing fee — similar to how you pay shipping when buying something online or a convenience fee when booking a ticket.
Gas fees vary depending on how busy the blockchain is at that moment and how complex your request is. CosmoTitan does not control these fees — they are determined by the blockchain itself.
Gas Fees on CosmoTitan
There are two types of blockchain transactions on CosmoTitan that may incur gas fees. These gas fees are paid directly to network validators, not to CosmoTitan.
1. Platform Credit Purchase
CosmoTitan charges a service fee for providing the tools and infrastructure to deploy smart contracts. This service fee is paid using Platform Credits.
CosmoTitan provides free credits. When you run out of free credits, you can purchase additional credits using your crypto wallet.
Purchasing Platform Credits is a blockchain transaction and therefore requires a gas fee. This gas fee goes to blockchain validators, not to CosmoTitan.
To reduce gas costs, you can purchase multiple credits in a single transaction, instead of paying gas each time you need more credits.
2. Cryptocurrency Creation (Token Deployment)
If you have sufficient Platform Credits, CosmoTitan deploys your cryptocurrency’s smart contract to the blockchain.
Depending on the features you select (such as minting, burning, access control, or upgradeability), deployment may involve one or multiple blockchain transactions. Each transaction may incur its own gas fee, paid directly to network validators.
We display estimated gas fees on the token creation page based on current network conditions. These estimates are informational only — gas fees are determined by the blockchain at the time of execution and may vary.
Summary of Fees
Here’s a breakdown of the gas-related fees you may encounter during the token creation process:
| Fee | Description | Recipient |
|---|---|---|
| Service Fee | The fee paid to CosmoTitan for using our token creation platform | CosmoTitan |
| Platform Credit Purchase | Gas fee paid during the purchase of our platform credits. | Blockchain Validators |
| Cryptocurrency Creation (Token Deployment) | Gas fees for deploying your token smart contract and related features | Blockchain Validators |
Final Notes
We display an Estimated Gotal Fees on the token creation page, but final costs may differ at the time of transaction.
Gas fees are dynamic and can vary based on how busy the blockchain network is and how complex your token’s smart contract is. The estimates we provide are meant to give you a general idea of current network costs — but the final gas fees are determined by the blockchain at the moment your transaction is processed.
Thank you for choosing CosmoTitan to bring your cryptocurrency project to life!
