Introducing Fee Tiers, $DIME Utility, and NFT Boosts We are rolling out volume-based fee tiers, $DIME staking discounts, and $DIME fee payments, while keeping maker fees at 0% across the board. Retail traders remain first-class citizens on Paradex. We believe retail should always get the best deal, which is why retail fees are lower than pro fees at every tier. Why It Matters: The new structure introduces separate fee schedules for Retail (VIP tiers) and Pro, each based on 14-day rolling trading volume, with further discounts available through $DIME staking and fee payment in $DIME. The result is simple: retail users get the best pricing on the exchange. $DIME now has concrete utility. Users can stake it for meaningful fee discounts, or use it as a payment currency to unlock even lower effective fees. Stack your discounts (up to 70% off base fees): $DIME Staking – up to 30% off. Lock more, save more. 24hr unstaking period applies. $DIME fee payment – initially 40% off. Opt to pay fees in $DIME for additional discounts – stacks with staking discounts. NFT Boost. Hold a MoneyBadgers or ShizoPunks NFT to instantly unlock VIP 1 and accelerate toward higher tiers.
