**#CryptoFees101: Understanding Transaction Costs**
Crypto fees are the costs paid to process transactions on blockchain networks. These fees vary based on network congestion, transaction size, and speed preferences.
- **Bitcoin & Ethereum**: Fees rise during high demand. Users can adjust fees for faster/slower processing.
- **Altcoins**: Some blockchains (e.g., Solana, BSC) offer lower fees by design.
- **Layer 2 Solutions**: Networks like Arbitrum or Lightning reduce fees by processing transactions off-chain.
Always check fee estimates before sending crypto—some wallets offer dynamic pricing. Smart traders time transactions during low activity to save.
