So, I'm curious, can you explain who exactly is responsible for paying the gas fees associated with cryptocurrency transactions? Are they borne solely by the sender, or is there a shared responsibility between sender and receiver? Are there any exceptions to this rule, or are gas fees a universal aspect of all crypto transactions? Understanding this aspect of crypto finance is crucial for anyone looking to navigate the world of digital currencies, so I'd appreciate your insights on this topic.

The gas fees are distributed to the network nodes that validate the transactions, incentivizing them to participate in the network's consensus mechanism.
