💸 Fee Structure
Learn Forkast's fee structure, including the trading fee charged on matched sell orders and the withdrawal fee for converting Trading Credits to USDC.
💸 Fee Structure Overview
Forkast offers a clear and transparent fee structure that balances incentivizing active trading with maintaining the platform’s long-term sustainability.
Our standard fee structure currently is as follows:
| Fee | Rate |
|---|---|
| 💱 Trading Fee | 0.50% |
| 🏧 Withdrawal Fee | 0.25% |
Zero-Fee Promotion: Forkast ran a platform-wide zero-fee promotion from December 2025 through July 2026, during which no trading or withdrawal fees were charged.
💸 1. Trading Fee
- Trading Fee: A 0.50% fee applies when your sell order matches an existing order in the order book.
- The fee is charged when an order removes liquidity from the market by matching with an existing order.
Note: Forkast covers all maker fees, meaning placing buy orders does not have a fee.
💸 2. Withdrawal Fee
- A withdrawal fee of 0.25% is applied when converting Trading Credits (TC) to USDC, prior to withdrawing funds from the platform.
