Understanding Blockchain Transaction Costs
Crypto transactions often come with fees, which vary by blockchain, network congestion, and transaction type.
🧾 Types of Fees:
Gas Fees (Ethereum, etc.): Paid to miners/validators to process transactions. Higher during network congestion.
Trading Fees: Charged by CEXs or DEXs (e.g., Binance, Uniswap). Usually a small % per trade.
Withdrawal Fees: Fees for moving crypto off an exchange to a wallet.
Network Fees (Bitcoin, etc.): Set by users—higher fee = faster confirmation.
💡 Tips:
Use Layer 2 networks (e.g., Arbitrum, Polygon) for lower fees.
Time transactions when traffic is low.
Always review fees before confirming.
