Crypto fees might seem small, but they can add up fast — and eat into your profits if you’re not careful. Whether you're trading on a centralized exchange or a DEX, there are typically two types of fees: maker and taker. Makers add liquidity to the order book, often paying lower fees. Takers remove liquidity and usually pay more. On-chain transactions also come with network fees (gas), which vary depending on blockchain activity. Some platforms offer fee discounts based on volume or holding native tokens. Always check the fee structure before trading — saving on fees is just as important as timing the market.
