What is
Babel Fees?
Babel Fees — механизм, позволяющий оплачивать комиссии не только ERG, но и другими токенами (через рыночный обмен внутри транзакции).
Обычно сети требуют платить комиссию базовой монетой. Babel Fees позволяют пользователю платить комиссию в токене, а майнер получает компенсацию (в ERG) по заданным условиям обмена. Это снижает трение для новых пользователей и улучшает UX токенов и приложений.
Key Points
- Можно платить комиссию токеном, а не только ERG
- Снижает трение для пользователей dApp
- Компенсация майнеру происходит через условия обмена
- Полезно для UX в мульти‑ассетной экосистеме

Technical Details
Babel Fees work through a two-step process: users create a transaction paying in tokens, fee providers see these requests and submit the actual transaction (paying ERG fees) while receiving the offered tokens. This creates a decentralized marketplace for fee payment.

Is Ergo a good investment?
This is not financial advice. Ergo has strong fundamentals: fair launch (no VC dump risk), innovative technology (eUTXO, Sigma Protocols, NiPoPoWs), active development, and a cypherpunk ethos. It's a smaller market cap project with higher risk/reward than established chains. Research thoroughly, understand the technology, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

Getting Started
How to get started with Ergo?
Start by getting a wallet (Nautilus for browser, Terminus for mobile). Back up your seed phrase securely offline. Get some ERG from an exchange (Gate.io, KuCoin) or DEX (Spectrum). Make a test transaction. Then explore: try DeFi on Spectrum, check out NFTs, or dive into the technology if you're a builder.
