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.
Pro Taker fee discounts subject to a minimum taker fee rate of 1.75 bps
