    Polkadot Developer Interface (Polkadot-JS UI) is a web wallet meant for power users and developers. For everyday use, there are several user-friendly wallets that support a plethora of features and platforms. Discover them in [this article](where-to-store-dot.md).

A transaction fee is deducted from your transferrable balance every time you make a transaction. It cannot be deducted from your bonded funds or the amount you send. Here is how you can see the fee before making a transaction.
