#CryptoFees101
Understanding crypto fees helps you trade smarter. Most platforms charge trading fees—usually a percentage per transaction. These can vary for makers (who add liquidity) vs. takers (who remove it). Network fees (like gas on Ethereum) are paid to miners/validators and depend on blockchain congestion. Withdrawal fees apply when moving assets off exchanges. On DEXs, fees go to liquidity providers and can fluctuate. Always check the fee structure before trading—small costs add up fast. Want to save? Use native tokens for discounts or trade during low-traffic times.
