#CryptoFees101

Understanding crypto fees is key to smart trading. Common fees include **trading fees** (charged per buy/sell on exchanges), **network fees** (blockchain gas fees paid to miners/validators), and **withdrawal fees** (for moving assets off platforms). Some platforms also charge **deposit or conversion fees**. **Slippage** can occur when market prices shift during a trade, costing more than expected. Fees vary by exchange, asset, and network traffic. To reduce costs, use **low-fee chains** like Polygon or Solana, or trade during off-peak hours. Always check fee structures before trading or transferring — small losses add up fast in the long run.
