#CryptoFees101 Let’s talk crypto fees — the hidden cost that can eat into your profits if you're not paying attention. 💸 Whether you’re trading ETH/USDT, swapping tokens on a DEX, or sending assets across chains, fees are everywhere. Centralized exchanges often charge maker/taker fees, while decentralized platforms hit you with gas fees — especially on Ethereum during high network congestion. Some traders ignore fees and lose more than they realize. Pro tip: always check the fee structure before placing a trade, and consider using layer-2 solutions or low-fee chains like Arbitrum or BSC when possible. Smart traders don’t just focus on gains — they minimize costs.
