What does it cost to withdraw from Lighter?
Withdrawal fees are a flat amount of the coin, charged per network, so they hurt small withdrawals most — a fee that is 0.1% of $10,000 is 1% of $1,000. The table above prices every open network for the coin you pick, using the live coin price, and adds it to the trading fee so you see the real all-in cost.
