#CryptoFees101 Crypto fees are small charges you pay to process transactions on a blockchain. These include network fees (paid to miners or validators for confirming transactions) and platform fees (charged by exchanges or apps). On blockchains like Ethereum, fees are called gas and vary with network demand. Some platforms use fixed fees, while others use percentage-based fees. Layer 2 solutions and newer blockchains often offer lower fees. Always check fee structures before trading, sending, or swapping crypto—fees can impact your profits. Understanding fees helps you save money and make smarter crypto decisions. Tip: Use off-peak times for cheaper fees.
