Maker and taker

Trading

Maker adds liquidity to the book (limit orders); taker removes it (market orders).

Example

Maker 0.1% vs taker 0.1% at base tier; instant-buy is the most expensive taker path.

Common misconceptions

  • That maker fees are always lower (they are at most exchanges, but verify per tier)
