#CryptoFees101

Crypto fees are charges incurred when transacting or interacting with cryptocurrencies. They broadly fall into two categories:

* Network Fees (or "Gas Fees"): These are paid to miners or validators who process and secure transactions on a blockchain. The amount fluctuates based on network congestion, transaction complexity, and the specific cryptocurrency (e.g., Ethereum uses "gas"). Higher fees often mean faster transaction processing.

* Exchange Fees: These are charged by cryptocurrency exchanges for various services like trading (maker/taker fees), deposits, and withdrawals. They can be a percentage of the transaction or a fixed amount, and often vary by platform and trading volume.
