Examples of higher-cost actions
Cardano developer documentation explains that transaction fees stay deterministic, but script execution and computational resources matter for advanced transactions. That means dApp actions are often priced above a basic wallet send.
- Differentiate transfer vs dApp.
- Mention execution units.
- Avoid implying one flat fee for everything.
- Use examples with clear labels.
DEX swaps, NFT minting, and scripted treasury actions may include more witnesses, redeemers, or reference data than a standard transfer. Each addition can raise total resource usage.
How to explain it on-page
Separate simple transfer fees from dApp fees so users do not confuse the normal ADA network fee range with more advanced smart contract activity.
