Fees
Fees you can see coming.
The exchange’s trading fee, plus a NyxGo fee only when one is active — both estimated in the order form before you place an order. No gas to trade, no account fees.

Exchange trading fee
0.045% / 0.015%
Taker / maker at the base tier. Charged by the exchange on each fill and lowered by your 14-day volume, staking and referrals.
NyxGo fee
—
A builder fee on filled orders placed through NyxGo, only when active. You approve its maximum rate with a signature before you trade. Agents’ DCA and grid orders pay it too, at a rate that can differ.
Gas to trade
None
Placing, cancelling and closing orders are gasless signatures. Only depositing or withdrawing USDC involves network or withdrawal fees.
Funding
Hourly
Paid between longs and shorts on open positions — not a fee to NyxGo or the exchange. Positive rates mean longs pay shorts.
Calculator
What will this trade cost?
Fees are a percentage of the position’s notional value — the full size, not your margin. At 10x, $1,000 of margin opens a $10,000 position and pays fees on $10,000.
Estimates only: staking (up to 40% off) and referral discounts lower the exchange fee further. Funding and price impact aren’t included.

Fee questions
Why does NyxGo have a fee?
The exchange lets interfaces attach a “builder fee” to the orders they route. It funds NyxGo’s development and is charged by the exchange only when an order fills — never on cancelled orders, deposits or withdrawals.
Can the NyxGo fee change without me knowing?
No. You sign an approval for a maximum builder fee when you enable trading. If the rate were ever raised above what you approved, NyxGo would have to ask you to approve again before your next order.
Where do I see my exact rate?
The order form estimates the fee for every order using your actual exchange rate, which already includes your volume tier and discounts, plus any NyxGo fee.
Do agents cost extra?
There’s no fee for using agents themselves. The orders they place pay the same exchange fee as orders you place yourself, and DCA and grid orders carry NyxGo’s fee on agents’ orders, when one is active. It can differ from the fee on your own orders: this page shows both when they differ, and the agent builder shows it before you start. A trailing stop’s close pays only the exchange fee.
Do agent orders pay the taker or the maker rate?
It depends on the agent. Each DCA run fills at once, so it pays the taker rate. Grid orders are post-only and rest on the book, so they pay the maker rate; only the optional close after a grid’s stop pays taker. A trailing stop costs nothing while it waits, and pays the taker rate when it triggers and closes at market. Pick the matching order type in the calculator to estimate them.
Does Moon AI cost anything?
Your first 10 questions each day are free, reset at 00:00 UTC. For more, AI credits are 250 questions for 5 USDC, 600 for 10, or 1,400 for 20, one credit per question, paid from your USDC on the exchange with one gasless signature. Credits last 12 months, and a question Moon AI can’t answer doesn’t use one.
Does NyxGo charge for deposits or withdrawals?
No. NyxGo never holds your funds. Deposits and withdrawals go straight between your wallet and your account on the exchange. Circle deducts a flat transfer fee from deposits (currently 0.20 USDC) and the exchange charges 1 USDC per withdrawal.
