Update
With new updates to dYdX on the horizon, we’re working hard to make sure that traders have a clearer understanding of protocol fees. Previously, holders of $DYDX or $stkDYDX were eligible to receive a trading fee discount based on the size of their current holdings. We will be winding down fee discounts and reverting back to normal fees for all dYdX traders on September 29th at 1pm ET. Hedgie holders will be eligible to receive a 3% fee discount beginning September 29th and holding multiple Hedgies will not increase the discount percent.
How Fees work
dYdX uses a maker-taker fee model for determining its trade fees. There are two types of orders on dYdX — Maker and Taker orders.
Maker orders are orders that do not immediately fill and rest on the order book — these orders add depth and liquidity to the order book.
Taker orders, on the other hand, immediately cross existing Maker orders. They remove liquidity from the order book.
The fee structure for all dYdX traders, regardless of token holdings will be as follows:
