Question 1

Which exchange has the lowest KAIO trading fee?

Accepted Answer

KCEX, at 0% taker and 0% maker on the base tier. Trading fees are charged per order as a percentage of the trade value, so a lower rate matters most if you trade often.

Question 2

What is the difference between maker and taker fees?

Accepted Answer

A maker order adds liquidity — it sits on the order book until someone trades against it. A taker order removes liquidity by matching an existing order immediately. Exchanges charge takers more, and some pay makers a rebate. Trading KAIO with limit orders that rest on the book gets you the maker rate.

Question 3

Can I pay lower fees on KAIO trades?

Accepted Answer

Yes — 8 of these exchanges cut fees when you pay in their own token (for example MEXC: −20% paying fees in MX). 10 exchanges also run VIP ladders where 30-day volume or token holdings lower your rate.

Question 4

Do futures fees differ from spot fees on KAIO?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Perpetual futures are usually cheaper per trade than spot — the lowest base futures taker fee here is 0–0.1% on MEXC — but futures also carry a funding rate paid between longs and shorts every few hours, which is not a fee the exchange keeps.
