Getting Started

Fees

LuaRex keeps fees simple. No tiered pricing, no hidden costs — every trader pays the same rate regardless of volume.

Deposits & Withdrawals

LuaRex charges no deposit or withdrawal fees. You only pay the standard Base network (gas) fees for the transaction.

Trading Fees

LuaRex uses a maker/taker fee model. Fees vary per market and are displayed on the trade page.

Trading fee shown on the trade page
  • Maker fee (negative) — when someone else fills your limit order, you receive a rebate. You earn fees for providing liquidity.
  • Taker fee — when you fill someone else's order, you pay a fee for taking liquidity.

Fee Calculation Example

Fees are calculated on the receiving amount (the amount you get from the trade).

For example, if you buy 1 ETH at $2,000 with a 0.1% taker fee:

  • You pay: $2,000 USDC
  • Fee: 0.1% of 1 ETH = 0.001 ETH
  • You receive: 0.999 ETH

If you sell 1 ETH at $2,000 with a 0.1% taker fee:

  • You sell: 1 ETH
  • Fee: 0.1% of $2,000 = $2 USDC
  • You receive: $1,998 USDC

There are no fees for simply holding or transferring assets. Fees are only applied when a trade is executed.

Network Fees

All transactions on LuaRex are executed on-chain on Base. This means every transaction requires a small network (gas) fee paid to the network, separate from the trading fee. Base gas fees are typically a fraction of a cent.
