#CryptoFees101
Crypto fees are costs for transactions or smart contracts on blockchains. They pay miners/validators for processing. Fees vary by network demand—high traffic = higher fees. Bitcoin uses "satoshis per byte," while Ethereum has "gas fees" (Gwei). Layer-2 solutions (e.g., Lightning Network, Rollups) reduce costs. Exchanges charge extra for withdrawals. Always check fees before sending crypto—some chains (e.g., Solana) are cheaper than Ethereum. Adjustable fees let users prioritize speed (pay more) or wait (pay less). Wallets like MetaMask estimate fees. High fees can make small transfers impractical. DYOR!
