Maker / Taker Fees

Maker and Taker fees are how exchanges charge you for trading —
they depend on whether you add or remove liquidity from the market.

Maker

You’re a maker when you place a limit order that stays open on the order book.
Your order adds liquidity, because it helps others trade later.
➡️ Maker fees are usually lower (reward for providing liquidity).

Taker

You’re a taker when you execute a market order that fills immediately.
Your order removes liquidity, because it matches an existing one.
➡️ Taker fees are usually higher, since you’re using existing liquidity.

Example

• Maker fee: 0.10%
• Taker fee: 0.15% If you buy Bitcoin with a market order, you pay the taker fee.
  If you set a limit order and someone fills it later, you pay the maker fee.

💡 Lanzo Tip

Use limit orders when possible — you’ll save on fees and have better control of your entry price.
Market orders are faster but cost more — use them only when timing truly matters ⚡
