Frequently asked questions
Is Bybit or Gate.io cheaper for futures?
On taker orders, Bybit charges 0.055% and Gate.io charges 0.05%. On a $10,000 round-trip (enter + exit) that's $11.00 vs $10.00 — Gate.io is cheaper by $1.00. Maker (limit) orders are cheaper on both.
What is the difference between maker and taker fees?
A taker order removes liquidity (a market order) and pays more; a maker order adds liquidity (a resting limit order) and pays less. Bybit: 0.02% maker / 0.055% taker. Gate.io: 0.02% maker / 0.05% taker.
Do fees matter at high leverage?
Yes — fees are charged on the full position (notional), not your margin. At 10x, a $1,000 margin controls a $10,000 position, so the taker round-trip still costs $11.00 on Bybit. Frequent trading compounds this.
