#CryptoFees101 Understanding fees is key to maximizing profits in crypto trading. Every transaction comes with a cost—be it trading fees, withdrawal fees, or network (gas) fees. For example, when trading SOL/USDT, you might pay a maker or taker fee depending on your order type. Maker orders add liquidity and usually cost less, while taker orders remove liquidity and often have higher fees. On DEXs, fees can also vary based on network congestion. High fees can eat into your gains, especially with frequent trades or small margins. Always check the fee structure of your exchange and factor costs into your trading strategy.
