02Spot taker fee before and after the discount
The discount applies to the base-tier spot fee recorded on this site. The “with token” column multiplies the base taker fee by (1 − discount); the $1,000 columns are that rate on a $1,000 taker order. Holding- or VIP-based tiers above the base rate are not included.

04Method and limits
The discount is the base-tier rate an exchange grants on spot trading fees when fees are paid with (or deducted in) its own token, as stated on its official fee or help page on the check date. Where an exchange applies a different rate to derivatives, only the spot rate is recorded. Tiers that depend on token holdings or VIP level are not shown. The post-discount fee is arithmetic on the recorded values, not a quoted figure, and the token itself is charged at a converted price.
