Cube Exchange Fee Schedule
Effective as of January 15th, 2024
Trading
Cube Exchange implements trading fees determined by a proportion of the order size and trade side: maker or taker. Fees are paid in the receiving asset, recorded on CubeNet when your trade is matched, and automatically deducted from your MPC Vault at the time of net settlement of your match trade.
Fees are 4 bps(0.04%) on maker trades and 8 bps(0.08%) on taker trades.
Resting orders that provide liquidity on the order book are maker trades, while orders that take liquidity are taker. Limit orders priced beyond the current best bid or ask prices will rest on the orderbook. If eventually executed, these are maker trades. ‘Post Only’ order ensures you are always on the maker's side of the trade. Market orders, which accept the best available bid or ask price on a paid, is on the taker side. Market crossing limit orders, are also taker trades.
For example:
Trader A places a limit order selling 100 SOL priced at $100 USDC/SOL.
Trader B places a market order, which lifts trader A’s offer.
Trader A, as the maker, will pay a 0.04% fee on the received $10,000 USDC, total: 4 USDC
Trader B, as the taker, will pay a 0.08% fee on the received 100 SOL, total: 0.08 SOL

Maker Trades: These are trades where a trader adds liquidity to the market. Essentially, if you place an order that doesn't immediately match with an existing order, you're considered a "maker." Your order goes on the order book and waits for someone else to match it. For example, if you set a limit order to sell a cryptocurrency at a price higher than the current market price, your order will wait on the order book until a matching order comes along. Cube Exchange charges a fee of 0.04% (4 basis points, where 1 basis point is 1/100th of a percent) for maker trades. So, if you sell $10,000 worth of cryptocurrency, you'll pay a fee of $4.
Taker Trades: These occur when a trader takes liquidity away from the market. If you place an order that is immediately matched with an existing order, you're a "taker." This includes market orders, where you accept the best available current price, and limit orders that match immediately with existing orders. The fee for taker trades is 0.08% (8 basis points). For instance, if you buy 100 units of a cryptocurrency and the total value of your trade is equivalent to 100 units of that cryptocurrency, you pay a fee of 0.08 units.
