#CryptoFees101
Cryptocurrency fees are essential for keeping blockchain networks operational. There are two main types: network fees and platform fees. Network fees are paid to validators or miners to process transactions (like in Bitcoin or Ethereum), and they vary according to congestion. Platform fees are charged by exchanges or wallets for services like trading or withdrawals. Understanding these costs is key to operating efficiently. Some blockchains, like Solana or Polygon, offer very low fees, making them attractive. Always check the fees before making a transaction!
