Types of Crypto Fees
There are two main types of fees in cryptocurrency: network fees (paid to miners/validators) and exchange fees (paid to the swap service).
Network Fees by Blockchain
| Blockchain | Avg Fee (2026) | Speed |
|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin | $1-20 | 10-60 min |
| Ethereum | $2-50 | 1-5 min |
| Monero | $0.001-0.01 | 2-20 min |
| Litecoin | $0.01-0.05 | 2.5-10 min |
Exchange Fees
When using a swap service like MoneroSwapper, the exchange fee is built into the rate you see. This means no surprise charges — the amount shown is the amount you'll receive.
How to Minimize Fees
- Use low-fee source currencies (LTC, TRC-20 USDT) when swapping to XMR
- Avoid swapping during peak network congestion
- Compare rates across exchanges before committing
