Why the fee page isn’t the whole story.

0.10% on $1,000 is one dollar; the spread you cross is often more — full anatomy: hidden-fees guide.

Withdrawal adds to the bill.

Cosmos isn’t in our curated withdrawal dataset yet (Bitcoin and Ethereum are) — see the withdrawal-fee table and Move check.

Every number above carries its measurement time — “cheapest” is only ever true at a timestamp. Exchanges without fresh data are omitted, never invented; exchanges without a public orderbook are marked “list price · not live”. The Reliability Score next to costs is a sourced, dated record — display context, never part of the cost ranking. Where a link earns a disclosed commission it is labelled; the commission never changes a number or a position. Withdrawal figures are the published schedule at verification; EUR equivalents are approximate at the current reference price. For your own order size, the live ATOM comparison recomputes everything in real time.
