The quote you see and the price you get can differ. Here is why, and when it matters most.
Entry fee, exit fee, and the spread in between—what a full buy-and-sell cycle really costs.
Same coin, different rails. The network you pick changes the fee, the wait, and whether it arrives at all.
Makers usually add resting liquidity; takers remove it. Fee tiers, VIP schedules, and “zero fee” campaigns still need a full cost read.
Separate chain network fees from exchange withdrawal charges so your exit cost is not a surprise.

Zero maker/taker can still leave spreads, funding, withdrawal costs, and VIP conditions.
Maker vs taker, VIP tiers, spreads, and withdrawal costs—what actually hits your balance.
