Crypto Trading Fees Explained: Maker, Taker and Withdrawals

Fees quietly decide how much of your profit you keep. This guide breaks down maker and taker fees, withdrawal costs, spreads — and how to trade on NonKYC while paying less. Details are always on our public fee schedule.

Maker vs taker, in plain words

• Maker = you place a limit order that rests in the book and provides liquidity. Maker fees are lower because you help the market.
• Taker = you take liquidity by filling an existing order immediately. Taker fees are higher.
• Placing limit orders and waiting instead of market-buying is usually the cheapest habit.

Withdrawal and network fees

• Every withdrawal pays a network cost — the blockchain fee, not the exchange's margin. Different assets have very different costs.
• Batch your withdrawals: sending rarely beats sending often, especially on assets with flat fees.
• Minimum withdrawal amounts exist so tiny balances are not consumed by fees alone.

Trading efficiently on NonKYC

• Use limit orders to earn maker pricing.
• Check the spread on the market page before you trade — a wide spread costs more than any fee.
• Volume tiers and the referral program reduce effective costs for active traders.
