  At BYDFi, we believe that miners charge fees for verifying transactions on the blockchain because it aligns with the principles of a decentralized and self-sustaining ecosystem. The fees incentivize miners to prioritize transactions based on their economic value, ensuring that the network remains efficient and secure. Moreover, transaction fees contribute to the overall stability of the blockchain by discouraging spam and malicious activities. By charging fees, miners are able to sustain their operations and continue providing the necessary computational power for transaction verification. However, it's important to note that the fee structure may vary across different blockchains and can be influenced by factors such as network congestion and market demand.
