Priority Fee

Extra tip you pay miners or validators to get your transaction processed faster when the network is busy.

Priority fees (also called maxPriorityFeePerGas) are how you compete for block space. On Ethereum it's separate from the normal gas price now.

It's like slipping the bouncer at a crowded club a $20 so you skip the long line and get in right away.

Real world: During a big NFT drop or market crash, you add a priority fee so your buy or sell order gets picked up before everyone else's.

💡 When the network is jammed, a small priority fee can save you hours of waiting — it's worth it for important trades.
