Fees

Learn which fees apply on Yellow, the current trading fee percentages, and what to check before trading or withdrawing.

Fees are charged when trades are filled and when certain account actions occur.

Common fee types on the current platform include:

• trading fees

• network fees for withdrawals

For spot trading, Yellow’s standard fee is:

• Maker: 0.10%

• Taker: 0.10%

If fees are paid with $YELLOW, the spot fee is reduced to:

• Maker: 0.075%

• Taker: 0.075%

Trading Fees

Trading fees are charged when your order is filled.

Simple model:

fee = fill value × fee rate

where:

fill value = price × size

Example:

• if you buy 1 ETH at 2,000 USDT

• the fill value is 2,000 USDT

• at 0.10%, the trading fee is 2 USDT

• at 0.075%, the trading fee is 1.5 USDT

Maker vs Taker

Orders may be described as maker or taker depending on how they interact with the order book:

• Maker — your order rests in the order book and fills later

• Taker — your order fills immediately against existing liquidity

For spot markets in the current fee structure:

• standard: 0.10% maker / 0.10% taker

• with $YELLOW discount: 0.075% maker / 0.075% taker

Withdrawal Network Fees

Withdrawals may also include a network fee. This is the blockchain cost required to process the transaction onchain.

The exact network fee depends on:

• the asset

• the selected network

• current blockchain conditions

Where to Verify Charges

Users should be able to review charges in:

• trade or fill history

• withdrawal history

• confirmation screens shown before submitting an action

What to Check Before You Trade or Withdraw

Before confirming an action, check:

• the trading fee shown for the market

• whether a $YELLOW discount applies

• the total order value

• the expected fee amount

• the selected withdrawal network

• any network fee shown before withdrawal confirmation
