Trading Fees

Understand how trading fees are applied, split, and displayed

Current platform fee

  • Default rate: Loading... per trade pulled from the affiliate settings.
  • Configurable range: Admins can raise the fee up to 9.00% from Admin → Affiliate.
  • Rounding: Fees are rounded to 6 decimal places when recorded on-chain.

How the math works

Trading fee (USDC) = Order notional × Loading.... A 150 USDC fill at the current rate costs Loading calculation example... in fees.

Maker vs taker

  • Market orders consume liquidity and always pay the full trading fee.
  • Limit orders incur the fee only when executed. There is no rebate program today, so makers and takers pay the same rate.

Fee estimates appear directly in the order ticket before you sign the transaction.

Revenue split

Trading fees are shared with referring affiliates:

  • Affiliate share: Loading... of the trading fee (current configuration)
  • Platform share: Loading... of the trading fee

If an order has no associated affiliate, the platform retains 100% of the fee.
