Takers pay nothing
TrueCurrent charges zero taker fees. When you open or close a position, you pay no protocol fee. No taker fee, no transaction fee, no gas fee. This makes TrueCurrent one of the most cost-effective venues to trade perpetuals anywhere – onchain or off.Dollar examples
As a taker you pay zero regardless of trade size. The maker fee is borne entirely by the institutional liquidity provider who fills your order.
No volume tiers or fee discounts
TrueCurrent does not operate volume tiers, VIP programmes, or fee discounts. The taker fee is 0 bps at all volume levels. There is no benefit to concentrating volume to reduce fees – you already pay nothing.Gas fees
Free on TrueCurrent. TrueCurrent subsidizes Injective-side gas for trading actions, so you do not need to hold or spend INJ to trade.How zero gas works
Every trade and position-management action on TrueCurrent involves an Injective blockchain interaction. TrueCurrent subsidizes the Injective network gas for these actions on your behalf. This does not remove external costs charged outside TrueCurrent, such as source-chain gas when bridging from another network or withdrawal fees charged by a centralized exchange.Funding fees
Holding an open position over time incurs funding payments. These are periodic payments exchanged between long and short holders to keep the perpetual price anchored to spot – not fees paid to TrueCurrent. See Funding rates for how these are calculated and how to factor them into your trading.Deposit and withdrawal fees
Free. Moving USDC in or out of your TrueCurrent account has no protocol fee.Fee summary
