Fees

Fee Structure

Crystal’s fees are among the lowest in the industry, with the entirety of fees going to the community. Fees can be further lowered through the use of the referral program, resulting in one of the lowest effective taker fee rates in the industry (0.024%). While fees are essential to the growth of any protocol, lower fees allow for tighter spreads and incentivize volume, which in turn increases protocol revenue while also accelerating protocol growth. Gas fees are negligible as Crystal is powered by Monad, a blockchain with next-generation scalability and performance.

Maker Fees: 0.00%

Limit orders that add liquidity to the order book are not charged any fee.

Taker Fees: 0.03%

Taker orders, or orders that remove liquidity from the order book such as market orders, are charged a fixed 0.03% fee. Market orders on stable pairs are charged a fixed 0.01% fee. With the referral program, users receive a 10% (subject to change) fee discount and referrers receive a 10% (subject to change) commission calculated based on the original fee.
