Judging exchange fees: a checklist that uses published rates

How do you compare exchange fees using only published maker, taker, and withdrawal lines is best answered from official fee tables and product pages, not marketing screenshots. This guide freezes source-linked strings checked on 2026-07-25 and refuses invented digits. Treat exchange as a research checklist, not a slogan. On the current snapshot, line 1 publishes 0.100%; line 2 publishes 0.1000%; line 3 publishes 0.35%; line 4 publishes 0.00009 BTC flat on native Bitcoin network (min withdrawal 0.00018 BTC); USDT TRC20 = 1.5 USDT flat. Entry-tier schedules change with VIP volume, token discounts, and campaign windows, so the baseline line is the only fair starting point across venues. Withdrawal schedules, local funding rails, and futures maker or taker rows sit outside a single spot percentage and must be reopened on the live schedule. ChainCosts reviews link each figure back to the provider page. Editorial pages restate those figures for readers researching exchange and carry no partner buttons. If a provider does not publish a number for your market, we leave the cell empty rather than invent one. Re-check the official URL before you act.
