Crypto fees are small charges paid when performing transactions on a blockchain. These fees serve two main purposes: rewarding network participants (like miners or validators) and preventing spam.

There are different types of fees depending on the blockchain. For example, Ethereum charges “gas fees” based on network activity — the busier the network, the higher the fees. Bitcoin has simpler transaction fees, typically determined by data size and network demand.

Centralized exchanges like Binance or Coinbase also charge fees, usually as a percentage of the trade value. These are different from blockchain fees but still affect your cost.

To minimize fees, users can:

Trade during off-peak hours

Use blockchains with lower fees (e.g., Solana or Polygon)

Choose exchanges with competitive rates

Understanding crypto fees helps users make smarter, more cost-effective transactions in the decentralized world. Always check the fee structure before confirming any transaction.
