💸 #CryptoFees101: What You’re Really Paying For
Ever wonder where your crypto goes when a transaction feels… too expensive? Let’s break it down:
🔹 Gas Fees (Ethereum, etc.):
Paid to validators for processing transactions. When the network’s busy, fees spike.
🔹 Trading Fees (CEX/DEX):
Exchanges charge a small % per trade. Watch for maker vs taker fees—they add up.
🔹 Withdrawal Fees:
CEXs often charge fixed amounts to move assets off-platform. Always check the fine print.
🔹 Bridging Fees:
Crossing chains? You’ll pay for convenience, including protocol and relayer fees.
✅ Pro Tip:
Use Layer 2s (like Arbitrum or Optimism) or fee-friendly chains (like Solana) to save big.
Knowing your fees = keeping more of your crypto.
