Why a 0.5 ADA Fee Needs 0.75 ADA: collateral_percent - Lido Minute | Podcast on Spotify

Listen to this episode from Lido Minute on Spotify. Ever notice your wallet asking for more ADA than the actual transaction fee? You’re not actually being charged extra.... so what is it? In this episode, let's check out collateral_percent, the parameter that requires temporary ADA “insurance” for smart contract transactions. It’s not a penalty. It’s protection, and it helps keep Cardano secure and spam-resistant.
