#CryptoFees101

Crypto isn’t free—and understanding fees is key to smart trading and investing.

Here are the main types:

1. Trading Fees – Charged when you buy/sell on an exchange. Usually a % of the trade. Lower if you hold the exchange’s token.

2. Gas Fees – Paid to blockchain networks (like Ethereum) to process transactions. These can spike during network congestion.

3. Withdrawal Fees – Charged when moving crypto from an exchange to a wallet. Varies by coin.

4. Slippage – Not a direct fee, but a hidden cost when prices shift before your order fills.

Tips to save:

✅ Use Layer 2 networks (like Arbitrum, Optimism)

✅ Trade during low activity times

✅ Know your exchange’s fee structure

Small fees add up—don’t let them eat your gains!
