🤔 DEX Fees Exposed
Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) typically charge traders 0.1%-0.3% per transaction, offering benefits like:

- Anonymous trading
- Faster execution times
- Complete transparency
These fees support liquidity providers and protocol maintenance. Unlike traditional exchanges, DEX pricing uses automated market makers with constant product formulas (x * y = k) for fair price discovery.
