Fees & rates
Network fee
Also: gas · miner fee
The network fee is what the blockchain charges to include a transaction — paid to miners or validators, not to the exchange.
You pay it when you send the deposit; the exchange pays it when broadcasting your payout and deducts it from the output. Fees vary by chain: cents on Solana or Tron, dollars on Bitcoin or Ethereum during congestion.

Network congestion
Congestion is when transaction demand exceeds block capacity, pushing fees up and confirmation times out.
