Fees

Trading fees

Fees are paid on the notional value of an order. This means that for a taker order of $5000 notional value (fill_price * fill_amount), a fee of 0.2% or 10 USD would be applied. Fees are applied to the user's collateral balance (strategy_collateral). At no time do traders pay an Ethereum gas to open or close their trading positions.

DDX Fee discount: Users can also pay fees in DDX, the native token of DerivaDEX. Fees paid in DDX are 1/2 the cost of fees paid in USDC.
