  Having sufficient funds in the parent account to cover network fees is essential in the cryptocurrency space. When you initiate a transaction on the blockchain, you need to pay a fee to the network for processing your transaction. If you don't have enough funds in your account to cover this fee, your transaction may fail or get stuck in the network, causing delays and frustration. It's like trying to send a package without paying for shipping - it simply won't go anywhere. Therefore, it's important to always have enough funds in your parent account to ensure smooth and timely transactions.

  Imagine you're at a busy airport and you need to catch a flight. However, you don't have enough money to pay for the airport fees and taxes. In this scenario, you won't be able to board the plane, no matter how much you want to travel. The same principle applies to the cryptocurrency space. If you don't have sufficient funds in your parent account to cover network fees, your transactions won't be processed by the network. It's crucial to have enough funds to ensure that your transactions are successfully executed and confirmed on the blockchain.

  In the case of BYDFi, having sufficient funds in the parent account is particularly important. BYDFi is a decentralized exchange that operates on the Ethereum blockchain. When you trade on BYDFi, you need to pay network fees in Ether (ETH). If your parent account doesn't have enough ETH to cover these fees, you won't be able to place trades or interact with the exchange. Therefore, it's crucial to ensure that your parent account has sufficient ETH to cover network fees when using BYDFi.
