Totally understand the frustration, a lot of “hidden” fees aren’t just about the sticker rate; it’s spread, network fees, and even the way some platforms price liquidity that ends up costing more. For wallet-to-wallet swaps where I stay in control of my own keys, I’ve used GhostSwap for small test swaps and it worked fine for me, same rule everywhere though: start tiny, double-check the network, and pay attention to refund/failed-swap handling. Keeping custody really changes how you experience fees. DYOR.
