💸 #CryptoFees101 — Understanding the Cost of Crypto Transactions
⛓️ Episode 1: What Are Crypto Fees?
Fees are paid to validate transactions on the blockchain
They vary by network, demand, and type of transaction
⛽ Episode 2: What Is Gas?
On Ethereum, fees = gas (measured in gwei)
Gas price x gas used = total cost
High activity = high gas (e.g., NFT mints, memecoin pumps)
🔀 Episode 3: DEX Fees vs CEX Fees
CEXs (Binance, Coinbase):
Trading fees, withdrawal fees
DEXs (Uniswap, SushiSwap):
LP fees (usually 0.3%)
Network gas fees on top
🌐 Episode 4: L1 vs L2 Fees
Ethereum L1 = expensive
L2s (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base) = cheaper, faster
Still pay a small fee to settle to mainnet
🚀 Episode 5: Bridging Fees
Moving assets across chains? Expect:
Gas on both chains
Bridge service fee (can vary)
Use aggregators like [Jumper.exchange] to compare
🧮 Episode 6: How to Save on Fees
Use L2s for trading, NFTs, and airdrop farming
Trade off-peak hours (early morning UTC)
Batch transactions when possible
💥 Episode 7: Hidden Fees to Watch For
Slippage = indirect fee on DEX trades
Token taxes (some tokens charge a % on buy/sell)
Wrap/unwrap fees (e.g., wETH ↔ ETH)
