#CryptoFees101 Crypto fees are transaction costs paid to miners or validators for processing transfers on blockchain networks. Fees vary by network—Bitcoin and Ethereum often have high fees during congestion, while Layer 2 solutions (e.g., Lightning Network) or altcoins like Solana offer cheaper alternatives. Ethereum uses "gas fees," which fluctuate based on demand. Exchanges also charge trading, withdrawal, and deposit fees. To save costs, users can time transactions during low activity, use scaling solutions, or pick low-fee blockchains. Always check fees before sending crypto, as unexpected costs can eat into transfers, especially for small amounts. #CryptoFees101
