Understanding Variational Trading Fees
Variational uses a Request-for-Quote (RFQ) pricing model, which differs from traditional maker/taker fee structures. Instead of explicit trading fees, costs are built into the bid-ask spread. This means you pay the spread cost on each trade, which varies by market and trading conditions.
Major pairs like BTC and ETH typically have tighter spreads (0.0019% and 0.0021% respectively), while altcoins and memecoins may have wider spreads. During normal market conditions, expect spreads to be consistent, but they may widen during high volatility events.
The RFQ model can be advantageous for traders who want predictable execution without worrying about separate maker/taker fees. Use our calculator above to estimate your trading costs based on different markets and conditions.
