• Taker Fee (you remove liquidity) = usually higher
📊 Typical range: 0.1%–0.5% per trade
🔹 2. Network Fees (Gas Fees)
Paid to blockchain miners/validators for processing transactions.
• Ethereum: Can get expensive during high traffic
• Bitcoin: Varies with congestion
⛽ Tip: Use off-peak hours to save on gas!
🔹 3. Withdrawal Fees
Charged when moving crypto from an exchange to your wallet.
💼 Some coins have flat fees, others vary by amount
🔹 4. Deposit Fees
Rare, but some platforms charge for fiat or crypto deposits.
