#CryptoFees101 Crypto fees are charges taken when you trade, send, or withdraw crypto. On centralized exchanges, there are usually two main types: maker fees (for placing limit orders) and taker fees (for market orders). Taker fees are often higher. On decentralized exchanges, you also pay gas fees, especially on networks like Ethereum. These vary based on network traffic. Some platforms offer fee discounts for using native tokens or staking. Always check the fee structure before trading—small fees add up over time. Also, withdrawing to wallets or converting assets may have separate charges. Understanding fees helps you optimize costs and boost your trading profits.
