Fees and Economic Incentives

Fee Structure

Aevo has a comprehensive fee structure that covers different types of transactions on its platform. These fees are designed to maintain the platform’s sustainability while providing incentives for traders and liquidity providers. The main categories of fees include options fees, perpetual fees, liquidation fees, and deposit & withdrawal fees.

Options Fees

• Trading Fees: Fees for options trading are applied based on the volume and type of options traded. These fees are typically a small percentage of the transaction value and are deducted at the time of trade execution.
• Exercise and Assignment Fees: When options are exercised or assigned, extra fees may apply. These fees cover the cost of executing the underlying transaction.

Perpetual Fees

• Trading Fees: Similar to options trading, perpetual trading incurs a fee based on the trade volume. These fees are applied when opening or closing positions.
• Funding Rates: Perpetual contracts involve periodic funding payments between long and short position holders. These payments ensure that the contract price remains close to the spot price of the underlying asset. The funding rate can be positive or negative, depending on market conditions.

Liquidation Fees

• Liquidation Penalties: When a trader’s position is liquidated due to insufficient margin, a liquidation fee is charged. This fee serves as a penalty and covers the cost of liquidating the position on the market. It helps maintain platform stability and discourages excessive risk-taking.

Deposit & Withdrawal Fees

• Deposit Fees: Aevo does not charge fees for depositing assets into the platform. Users are responsible for the network fees associated with transferring assets to the platform.
• Withdrawal Fees: Withdrawal fees are applied when users transfer assets out of the platform. These fees cover the network costs and ensure the smooth processing of withdrawals.

Economic Incentives

Aevo offers various economic incentives to encourage platform participation and reward users for their contributions. These incentives include trading rewards, staking perks, and referral bonuses.

Traders are rewarded based on their trading volume. The more a user trades, the higher their rewards. These rewards are typically distributed in the form of AEVO tokens. Periodically, Aevo may host trading competitions with rewards for top-performing traders. These competitions aim to boost trading activity and engage the community.

Users who stake AEVO tokens can earn additional rewards. Staked tokens grant users voting rights in Aevo’s governance process, which incentivizes active participation in platform governance and decision-making.

Aevo’s referral program rewards users for bringing new traders to the platform. Users receive a percentage of the trading fees generated by their referrals. This program helps expand the user base and increases platform liquidity.
