One of the most common questions among new cryptocurrency users is: why do I have to pay a fee when sending or receiving crypto? Understanding crypto fees can help you avoid surprises and better plan your transactions if you’re just starting your journey with Bitcoin or Ethereum. Coinsdrom explains crypto fees, how they work, and why they vary.
Coinsdrom works with people who want to buy or sell cryptocurrency without managing portfolios or participating in complex ecosystems. That’s why we believe it’s important to explain how fees work in plain language.
When you send or receive cryptocurrency, you usually pay a small additional amount to process the transaction. This is known as a network fee, and it goes directly to the network of people (or machines) that keep the blockchain running.
Coinsdrom does not set or collect these network fees—they are part of the blockchain protocol. Whether you buy crypto through Coinsdrom or send it from your wallet, network fees are required by design.
Cryptocurrencies operate on decentralized networks, unlike banks or apps that use central servers. Every transaction has to be validated and recorded by others on the network. These participants are miners (in Bitcoin) or validators (in Ethereum).
They provide computing power to maintain the network, and the fee you pay is their compensation for that work. Without it, the system wouldn’t function.
Crypto fees are not fixed—they depend on several factors:
The more people use the blockchain simultaneously, the higher the fees. It’s like rush hour: everyone wants their transaction processed, so fees rise with demand.
Larger or more complex transactions (such as sending to multiple recipients) may require more data, which leads to slightly higher fees.
Some wallets allow you to choose how fast your transaction gets confirmed. Paying a higher fee usually means your transaction is picked up faster. Paying less might mean waiting longer.
Fees vary by network. For example:
Coinsdrom or any single company doesn’t set the fee—it’s determined by the blockchain you’re using. When you send crypto, your wallet calculates the cost based on network conditions. Coinsdrom always informs you about the expected network fee before confirming the transaction.
Almost all crypto transactions include a network fee, but the exact amount can vary. Even if you’re only exchanging €50 worth of Bitcoin, the blockchain still requires a fee to process it.
That’s why Coinsdrom emphasizes transparency. We don’t hold your funds or charge hidden withdrawal fees. You only see:
If you’re new to crypto, here are a few practical tips:
Crypto fees are part of how blockchains operate—they’re not hidden charges or commissions but essential to keeping the system running. At Coinsdrom, we keep your experience simple by focusing on direct exchanges with no deposits or stored balances and always showing the applicable network fee before you finalize your transaction.
Knowing how fees work will make the process smoother, whether you’re buying Bitcoin or Ethereum with your credit card or selling crypto you already own. Coinsdrom is here to ensure your first crypto experience starts with clarity, not confusion.
