What Are Transfer Fees?
When you send cryptocurrency from your wallet to an exchange or another wallet, miners must process and validate the transaction on the blockchain. This consumes computational resources, requiring a reward (network fee/Gas Fee/miner fee) paid to miners. These fees are collected by miners, not by the platform.
How Much Are Withdrawal Fees?
The withdrawal page displays the estimated fee in the respective cryptocurrency. Fees are charged per withdrawal attempt, regardless of transaction amount. Network fees fluctuate in real-time; check the page for current rates.
Ensure your wallet has sufficient balance to cover fees—otherwise, the transaction may fail. Note: Failed transactions still incur non-refundable fees.
"Insufficient Fees" Error During Transfer
If your wallet displays this error, you must top up the network’s native coin to proceed.

| Solana | SOL |
| BNB Chain | BNB |
