Abstract

The parameters in the table above represent the following:

  • makerFeeNextPrice and takerFeeNextPrice are the fees paid by traders when filled for next price futures orders.
  • makerFee and takerFee are the fees paid by traders when filled immediately..

Motivation

The base fees were primarily calibrated by considering the historical volatility of the assets as to limit the latency arbitrage. The off-chain circuit breakers allows us to lower those fees with minimal risk to latency arbitrage.
