#CryptoFees101
Crypto fees are the costs involved when making transactions or trades on blockchain networks and exchanges. Common types include network fees (like gas on Ethereum), trading fees on exchanges (maker/taker), and withdrawal fees. CEXs often have fixed fees or discounts based on volume, while DEXs depend on network congestion. Some platforms offer zero-fee promotions or rebates with native tokens. Understanding how these fees work helps traders choose cost-efficient platforms and optimize transactions. Always compare fees before trading, especially on high-volume days, as small percentages can accumulate over time and affect profitability significantly.
