What does sat/vB mean?
Bitcoin fees are commonly measured in satoshis per virtual byte, or sat/vB. Bigger transactions need more block space, so the fee rate matters more than the total fee alone.
sat/vB and confirmation pressure
Bitcoin fees.
Understand Bitcoin fee rates, sat/vB, mempool demand, and why transaction fees change when block space gets crowded.
Why higher fees confirm faster
Miners usually prefer transactions that pay more per unit of block space. When demand is high, higher sat/vB transactions usually move faster.
