Questions and answers
How is the Ethereum Classic gas fee calculated?
Gas used × gas price. A plain ETC transfer uses 21,000 gas; a token transfer uses what the token contract needs. The gas price is read from the network every few minutes and shown above in gwei (1 gwei = 0.000000001 ETC).
Why does sending a token on Ethereum Classic cost more than sending ETC?
A token transfer calls the token's smart contract, which reads and writes its balance table. That code costs gas on top of the 21,000 every transaction pays, so the same gas price gives a higher fee.
Does the amount I send change the Ethereum Classic fee?
No. Gas measures computation, not value. Sending 10 or 10,000 of a token costs the same gas.
