Maker vs Taker: Makers (who place limit orders) often pay less than takers (who execute market orders).

Network/Gas Fees: Paid to miners/validators. They fluctuate based on congestion—Ethereum often spikes, while Solana/Polygon are much cheaper .

Withdrawal & Swap Fees: Charged when moving assets off exchanges or swapping tokens on DEXes .

According to The Block, not optimizing these fees can cost up to 12% per year in returns .
