Trading Fees

To keep Xmarket sustainable and reward platform contributors, there are two types of fees you may encounter when trading and settling positions.

Taker Fee

When it applies: You place an order that immediately matches with an existing order in the order book — such as a market order or a limit order that gets filled instantly.

How it works:

• A small percentage fee is charged on the total trade amount at the moment of execution.

Example:

• You buy 100 YES shares at 0.60 USDX each → 60 USDX total

• Taker fee = 0.5% × 60 = 0.3 USDX

• Total paid = 60.3 USDX

Winner Fee

When it applies: After a market resolves, when you redeem your winning outcome shares for payout (1 USDX per share).

How it works:

• A small settlement fee is deducted from your redemption amount.

Example:

• You hold 100 winning YES shares

• Gross payout = 100 USDX

• Settlement fee = 1% × 100 = 1 USDX

• Net received = 99 USDX

Tip for Traders:

• Maker orders (limit orders that don’t fill instantly) typically avoid the taker fee.

• You can reduce exit fees by factoring them into your trade strategy before entering a market.
