# 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.**

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.**

| 0% (0 bps) | 0.2% (20 bps) USDC / 0.1% (10 bps) DDX |

### Deposit and withdrawal fees

These fees are paid in Ethereum, often referred to as `gas`.  The exact price will depend on network congestion and user-defined gas limit.
