About Paradex<\/b><\/p>\n

Introducing Zero Fee Perps \u2014 Live on Mainnet<\/b><\/p>\n

Paradex has launched Zero Fee Perps (ZFP)<\/b>, allowing every retail trader to pay $0 in trading fees<\/b>\u2014maker or taker\u2014on more than 100 perpetual futures across web and mobile.<\/p>\n

What \u201czero\u201d truly means:<\/b><\/p>\n

$0 fees for retail traders on every perp, whether they win or lose<\/p>\n

Always-on; not a promo, not capped, not limited markets<\/p>\n

Only spreads and funding remain\u2014exactly as they should<\/p>\n

Why Zero Fee Perps Are the Future<\/b><\/p>\n

The affiliate-driven model in today\u2019s exchanges is broken\u2014CEXs charge 5\u201310 bps, then split most of it with KOLs just to buy distribution, making users pay unnecessarily high fees.<\/p>\n

Paradex removes the middleman. No custody barriers. No distribution tax.<\/p>\n

Creators still matter\u2014Paradex is rolling out a new affiliate model where KOLs become long-term owners through explicit token allocations, not short-term revenue-share arrangements.<\/p>\n

How Paradex Generates Revenue While Staying Zero Fee<\/b><\/p>\n

Paradex earns from RPI (Retail Price Improvement)<\/b> maker flow\u2014not retail takers.<\/p>\n

Professional market makers post RPI-flagged orders visible in the UI but hidden from the API. These orders match against retail takers only, reducing toxicity and allowing makers to quote tighter spreads with more size.<\/p>\n

Makers pay 0.5 bps (0.005%)<\/b> on RPI fills, funding ZFP sustainably at scale.<\/p>\n

High-frequency API takers pay 2 bps (0.02%)<\/b>. Toxicity-based fees will roll out in the future.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s similar to TradFi PFOF, but without selective routing\u2014market makers compete equally, retail keeps $0 fees, makers get curated flow, and Paradex earns revenue sustainably.<\/p>\n

Do spreads widen?<\/b><\/p>\n

No. RPI reduces toxicity, enabling tighter spreads. In fact, Paradex consistently beats top exchanges ~96% of the time on majors at $100k order sizes. (See Paradex Liquidity Monitor.)<\/p>\n

TL;DR:<\/b><\/p>\n

Fees were a tax on coordination. Paradex removed them. Trade perps, pay ZERO<\/b>, and help build a model where users, affiliates, and the venue win together.<\/p>\n
