Fees shown are regular-tier retail rates. Most exchanges have VIP tiers based on 30-day volume or staked native-token balance that can cut maker/taker in half or better. Perp fees shown are for USDT/USDC-margined contracts. Inverse (coin-margined) usually differs. Affiliate rebate is the max % of generated fees you earn when referring users — exact percentage depends on your volume tier with the exchange. Verified manually; if you spot something stale, ping @info_hub69.
