The Hidden Cost That Drains Your Profits

Alerts traders that crypto fees are the "silent killer" of profitability—profits can slip away if fees aren’t tracked .

Maker/Taker fees—makers generally pay less.

Network (gas) fees—spikes in congested networks like Ethereum.

Swap fees—common in DEX platforms.

3. Use Layer‑2 networks like Polygon or Arbitrum.

4. Choose CEX vs DEX based on trade volume .
