#CryptoFees101
What Are You Really Paying For?
Every crypto transaction comes with a fee โ but where does it go?
๐น Network/Mining Fees:
Paid to miners/validators to process your transaction on the blockchain (e.g. Ethereum gas fees).
๐น Exchange Fees:
Charged by platforms like Binance, Coinbase, or Uniswap for facilitating trades. Watch out for spreads + hidden fees!
๐น Withdrawal Fees:
Leaving an exchange? Youโll pay to move your crypto off-platform. Rates vary wildly.
๐น Slippage Costs:
When prices move during your trade โ a hidden cost, especially on DEXs with low liquidity.
๐ง Pro Tip:
Use fee trackers and compare platforms. Sometimes where you trade matters more than what you trade.
