Could you please explain in detail how 
Maker fees operate within the cryptocurrency trading ecosystem? I'm particularly interested in understanding the mechanics behind how they are calculated, when they are applied, and what factors influence their rate. Additionally, how do maker fees differ from taker fees, and what are the benefits or drawbacks of being a maker in a trade? Lastly, are there any strategies or tips you could recommend for minimizing maker fees while maximizing trading efficiency?

    In such scenarios, the fee structure becomes more complex, blending elements of both maker and taker fees.

    Maker fees are levied on traders who contribute to 
market liquidity by placing limit orders.

    Conversely, traders who execute market orders that consume market liquidity are subject to taker fees.
