💸 #CryptoFees101 – A Beginner’s Guide to Crypto Transaction Fees

When you use cryptocurrencies, there are several types of fees involved. Here's a breakdown of the most common ones:

🔹 1. Network Fee (aka Gas Fee)

This is paid to blockchain validators (or miners) to process your transaction.

The fee amount depends on how busy the network is, not the amount you're sending.

Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other blockchains charge this.

Example:

Sending BTC? A small BTC fee is paid to miners so your transaction is confirmed.

🔹 2. Exchange Fee

Charged when you buy, sell, or trade crypto on a centralized exchange like Binance, Bitget, or Coinbase.

Two types:

Maker Fee: You place a new order (adds liquidity).

Taker Fee: You match an existing order (takes liquidity).

Typical rate: 0.1% to 0.25% per trade.

🔹 3. Withdrawal Fee

When you withdraw crypto from an exchange to your wallet, a fixed fee is charged.

Each coin/token has its own withdrawal fee.

Example:

Withdrawing Pi Coin or USDT from Bitget may cost a small fee (either in Pi or USDT).

🔹 4. Swap / Conversion Fee

When you convert one token to another (like BTC → ETH), you’re charged a small conversion fee.

🔹 5. Slippage (Hidden Cost)

Not a direct fee, but if prices move during your trade, you may get slightly less (or more) than expected.

Happens in volatile markets or with large orders.

🛡️ Pro Tips to Save on Fees:

Use Layer 2 solutions (like Arbitrum, Optimism) to reduce gas costs.

Trade during low traffic hours.

Always check withdrawal limits and fees before sending.

Use DEXs (decentralized exchanges) when appropriate.
