Trading Fees

Definitive platform trading fees

Definitive platform trading fees apply to all order types (Market, TWAP, Limit, Stop, Bracket) across both Prime and Turbo interfaces.

  • Trading majors to majors or stablecoins are free on select chains, and all stablecoin pairs are free.

  • Trading any other asset starts at 85 bps, lowers to 70 bps with staking, and decreases based on volume.

  • Our any-to-any swap routing means you pay 2x+ less vs other platforms which require multiple trades to an intermediary token.

  • Staking a minimum of $200 in EDGE immediately unlocks lower fees. Staking more EDGE increases your volume lookback window, scaling fee reductions.

Scaled Fee Reductions

Tiered Staking accounts for your historical trading volume  -  letting you unlock better fee tiers faster and for longer.

The more EDGE you stake, the longer your historical volume lookback window.

Staked EDGE Amount
Lookback Window

$200 in $EDGE

30 days

$2,000 in $EDGE

60 days

$20,000 in $EDGE

90 days

$200,000 in $EDGE

120 days

$1,000,000 in $EDGE

180 days

As an example:

If you traded $500K per month for the past 2 months on Definitive, Staking $2,000 in $EDGE would immediately move you from Tier 4 to Tier 3 by extending the volume lookback window from 30 days to 60 days. On every $100K trade, you’d save $350 on trading fees by staking $2,000 EDGE — moving you from the Tier 4 Unstaked to Tier 3 Staked. This saves you 43% in trading fees on every trade.
