# 💸 Gas Fees

💸\
**Gas Fees**

Miner Drop operates entirely on-chain using the Matchain  (BSC), which involves necessary gas fees for all operations, from NFT mining to in-game battles. The use of Chainlink VRF (Verifiable Random Function) technology ensures that all randomness-dependent activities are provably fair, increasing transparency and security for players.\\

\
**BNB for Transactions**

To ensure fluid transactions and interactions with smart contracts, it is vital for players to maintain a reserve of BNB in their wallets, such as MetaMask. This reserve facilitates the execution of transactions without interruptions due to a lack of funds to cover gas fees.\\

\
**Gas Cost Structure**

Gas fees on the MatchAIN  can vary significantly depending on network congestion. However, gas fees are generally lower compared to other major blockchains:\
\
•  **Standard Transactions:** Usually cost about 0.0000005 BNB to 0.000001 BNB.\
\
•  **Combat and Special Event Transactions:** Can range from 0.000001 BNB to 0.0000025 BNB, depending on the complexity of the data handled and the current state of the network.\\

\
**BNB Reserve Recommendation**

Players are advised to keep at least **0.001 BNB** in their wallets to cover gas fees. This amount is sufficient for up to **2,000 plays**, as well as other essential game interactions, such as:

* Claiming rewards;
* Staking **MINER** tokens;
* Gaining experience;
* Forging items.

\
\
**Impact of Early Withdrawal Tax**

Gas fees are also influenced by the early withdrawal tax, as transactions involved in the premature movement of funds are more complex and require more network resources. Maintaining an adequate BNB reserve is crucial to cover these expenses, ensuring that players' ability to play and progress in Miner Drop is not compromised.\
\
These guidelines are designed to help players efficiently manage their BNB reserves, maximizing their gaming experience and ensuring they can actively participate without concerns over lacking funds for necessary transactions.
