Gas Fees: Out of the Picture at CoverCompared

We are happy to be the first-ever Defi insurance platform that offers insurance policy purchasing with 0 gas fees to pay!

Gas is basically the fuel that allows the Etherum network to operate, in the same way, that a car needs gasoline to run. It refers to the unit that measures the amount of computational effort required to execute specific operations on the Ethereum network.

Naturally, just like its physical world counterpart, gas costs money on the Etherum network as well.

Since each Ethereum transaction requires computational resources to execute, each transaction requires a fee. Gas refers to the fee required to conduct a transaction on Ethereum successfully.

But why does gas cost so much?

The math behind gas fees is quite complicated. The amount of gas users need depends on various factors, such as:

· How large of a contract do users want to execute

· How fast do users want it executed

· How busy the network is at the time of transaction

The fee goes to Ethereum miners who provide the computing power that’s necessary to verify transactions and keep the network running. When the Ethereum network is experiencing a high volume of transactions, gas fees get expensive, since there is limited space for how many transactions can be included on the Etherum blockchain.

When purchasing insurance coverage and paying in crypto, users initiate a transaction on the blockchain. This transaction can result in a very high gas fee that could surpass the price of the insurance policy. Consequently, many users shy away from purchasing insurance due to high gas fees.

We are here to change that for good.
