Our itBit exchange offers a simple fee structure with low rates. We have a maker-taker fee model where Maker orders like Post-Only orders (which add liquidity to the exchange) are subject to lower fees than Taker orders. This is to ensure that we are operating with a deep liquidity pool, which allows for better price discovery and a favorable trading environment for all customers. Pricing may also vary by asset pair, which helps support liquidity for the relevant assets.
Fee Structure
Note that pricing varies by asset as listed below.

Am I a Maker or a Taker?
Maker Order: Orders that add ("make") liquidity to an orderbook. You become a “maker” when you place an order and it does not execute immediately, instead, the order is placed on the order book until another counterparty matches the other side of the trade. This can be done using the “Post-Only” order type or strategically using the “Limit” order type, depending on the details of the order.
Take Order: Orders that remove ("take") liquidity from an order book. Taker orders will always incur a fee. You become a "taker" when you place an order that executes immediately and matches with an existing order on the order book. This can be done using the “Market” order type or strategically using the "Limit" order type, depending on the details of the order.
