What’s changing?
Eligible pairs will now follow a competitive rebate-driven fee schedule for makers.
Maker fees will decrease significantly for the selected pairs, at all volume tiers, with rebates offered at the top tiers.
Taker fees remain unchanged across all tiers.
This structure applies only to select spot pairs — chosen based on liquidity. All other spot pairs will continue under the standard fee schedule.
The goal is simple: support deeper markets and tighter spreads through targeted liquidity incentives on recently underperforming pairs. All traders will automatically benefit from the improved maker fee structure based on 30-day rolling volumes—no other action is required.

What’s staying the same?
Taker fees remain unchanged for all pairs and all tiers.
Maker and taker fees on non-eligible pairs are not affected.
The standard fee schedule remains in effect for the majority of trading activity.
We’ll reassess pair eligibility, fee levels and the structure of liquidity incentives on a monthly basis as needed to reflect shifting liquidity dynamics. As always, our aim is to support more efficient markets, better execution and to deliver a better experience for all active traders.
