Trading Fees
The dYdX Chain uses a tiered fee structure based on 30-day trailing trading volume.
| Tier | 30d Trailing Volume | Taker (bps) | Maker (bps) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | < $1M | 5.0 | 1.0 |
| 2 | ≥ $1M | 4.5 | 1.0 |
| 3 | ≥ $5M | 4.0 | 0.5 |
| 4 | ≥ $25M | 3.5 | — |
| 5 | ≥ $125M | 3.0 | — |
| 6 | ≥ $125M and ≥0.5% exchange mkt. share | 2.5 | -0.5 |
| 7 | ≥ $125M and ≥1% maker mkt. share | 2.5 | -0.7 |
| 8 | ≥ $125M and ≥2% maker mkt. share | 2.5 | -0.9 |

Negative maker fees represent rebates where traders earn a percentage of the notional value when providing liquidity as makers.
- Taker Fees: Applied when you remove liquidity from the order book (market orders, limit orders that cross the spread)
- Maker Fees/Rebates: Applied when you add liquidity to the order book (limit orders that don't cross the spread)
