How do I send cryptocurrency for free?
Why do I pay transaction fees when sending and receiving cryptocurrency?
As cryptocurrency becomes more popular, the number of transactions have been increasing rapidly. While the resources needed to process transactions a couple of years ago was minimal, it is now a lot more significant. Often there are more transactions being created than the network is able to process.
As a result, the various people and businesses participating in blockchain (such as miners and node operators) apply pressure to prioritise and reduce transaction load by means of transaction fees. Miners generally select transactions for the block they are mining based on the fee associated with each transaction, so a higher fee results in a better chance of the transaction being included in the next block.
How do I send cryptocurrency without the fees?
Sending to a cryptocurrency address is costly due to the blockchain mining fee, and can take time if the network is congested. As such, we’ve devised a method that doesn’t use the blockchain network, allowing you to send cryptocurrency for free to anyone, anywhere.
