#CryptoFees101 Quick Guide to Understanding Crypto Fees

💸 1. Fees Are Not Just Discounts!

In the world of crypto, every transaction (buying, selling, transferring, withdrawing) incurs fees. However, these fees vary depending on the platform, network, and type of transaction.

🔁 2. Types of Fees:

Trading Fees:

When you buy or sell a currency, the platform takes a small percentage (usually between 0.1% – 0.5%).

👥 Sometimes it varies between Maker (the one who places an order) and Taker (the one who executes an order).

Gas Fees:

Used by networks like Ethereum to operate transactions.

⛽ The price depends on network congestion. You might pay $1 or $50!

Withdrawal Fees:

When you withdraw your currency to an external wallet. It varies by network (TRC20 is often cheaper than ERC20).

Network Fees:

Like gas fees, but they sometimes appear in transfers from wallets like MetaMask.

🧠 3. Tips to Reduce Fees:

Use cheaper networks (like BNB Smart Chain or TRON).

Trade larger amounts to make the fees a smaller percentage.

Take advantage of platform discounts (like the discount if you pay fees using BNB on Binance).

🚨 4. Caution!

Some currencies automatically deduct fees when withdrawing or transferring (like Burn Fees), so don’t be surprised if you receive a lesser amount.
