Fees

Ekiden is built for serious traders. Our fee structure is designed to reward both volume and liquidity. If you’re trading size or consistently making markets, you’ll benefit from lower costs and in many cases, get paid to provide liquidity. Fees are calculated using a standard maker-taker model, with rates determined by your 30-day notional volume. Maker rebates kick in at higher tiers, and market share incentives offer additional rewards for dominating individual perp markets. All fee logic is transparent, predictable, and optimized for performance.

During the Private Mainnet period, we lower the fees, making them as low as 0.01% for the maker, 0.0350% for the taker, which corresponds to the standard $10M+ tier.

Fee Tiers

Fees are based on your rolling 30-day notional volume. Maker fees drop to zero and eventually negative as volume increases. Taker fees are flat or reduced at higher tiers.
