#CryptoFees101
What Are You Really Paying For?
Every crypto transaction comes with a fee — but where does it go?
🔹 Network/Mining Fees:
Paid to miners/validators to process your transaction on the blockchain (e.g. Ethereum gas fees).
🔹 Exchange Fees:
Charged by platforms like Binance, Coinbase, or Uniswap for facilitating trades. Watch out for spreads + hidden fees!
🔹 Withdrawal Fees:
Leaving an exchange? You’ll pay to move your crypto off-platform. Rates vary wildly.
🔹 Slippage Costs:
When prices move during your trade — a hidden cost, especially on DEXs with low liquidity.
🧠 Pro Tip:
Use fee trackers and compare platforms. Sometimes where you trade matters more than what you trade.
