#CryptoFees101 Crypto fees are essential for the functioning of blockchain networks. They are primarily paid to miners or validators who process and verify transactions, securing the network.

There are different types of fees:

* Network Fees (Gas Fees): These are paid directly to the blockchain network. Their cost fluctuates based on network congestion and transaction complexity. For instance, Ethereum uses "gas fees," where higher demand means higher gas prices.

* Trading Fees: Centralized exchanges charge these for buying and selling crypto. They are often a percentage of the trade value and can vary for "makers" (who add liquidity) and "takers" (who remove it).

* Withdrawal/Deposit Fees: Some exchanges charge these for moving crypto on or off their platform, which can be fixed or variable based on network fees.

Understanding these fees is crucial for managing your crypto assets efficiently.
