Trading Fees and VIP Discounts
ByteExchange uses a maker-taker fee model for spot trading. Your fee rate depends on your 30-day trading volume and BEXC token holdings.
Maker vs. Taker
- Maker: You add liquidity by placing a limit order that does not execute immediately. Your order sits in the order book.
- Taker: You remove liquidity by placing a market order or a limit order that fills immediately.
Makers always pay lower fees because they provide liquidity to the exchange.
Standard Fee Schedule
| VIP Level | 30d Volume (USDT) | Maker Fee | Taker Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| VIP 0 | < 100,000 | 0.10% | 0.10% |
| VIP 1 | >= 100,000 | 0.09% | 0.10% |
| VIP 2 | >= 500,000 | 0.08% | 0.09% |
| VIP 3 | >= 1,000,000 | 0.06% | 0.08% |
| VIP 4 | >= 5,000,000 | 0.04% | 0.06% |
| VIP 5 | >= 10,000,000 | 0.02% | 0.04% |

Fee Calculation Example
You buy 1 BTC at 65,000 USDT using a market order (taker) at VIP 0:
- Fee: 65,000 x 0.10% = 65 USDT
- With BEXC discount: 65 x 0.75 = 48.75 USDT
