edgeX Fees (2026): What the Docs Publish and Omit
Mechanics verified against official edgeX docs on 2026-09-28. No maker or taker rate is quoted on this page, because none is published there.
Most perp DEXs publish a base maker and taker rate and a ladder above it. edgeX publishes the ladder's shape and not its rungs. This page sets out exactly what the documentation states about trading fees, gas and funding, and marks clearly where the number a reader wants sits behind the app's sign-in.
Trading fees: a tier system without a published table
Per the trading-fees page, "the trading fees on edgeX are determined by the rolling traded volume over the past 30 days, with updates occurring daily at 00:00 (UTC)". The same page states that "the volume from sub-accounts is aggregated with the main account, ensuring that all sub-accounts benefit from the same fee tier", so splitting activity across the twenty trading accounts a wallet may hold does not fragment your tier. For the rates at each tier, the docs say only: "for comprehensive information on VIP trading fees, please visit the VIP page on our website" — a view inside the app.
One machine-readable figure does exist. edgeX's public metadata API
(/api/v2/public/meta/getMetaData) carries a defaultTakerFeeRate of
0.00045 and a defaultMakerFeeRate of 0.0004 on every one of its 182 contracts —
0.045% taker and 0.04% maker. The documentation never says what "default" means: whether it
is the lowest-volume tier, a fallback, or something else. So this site reports the field as
the API labels it and does not treat it as edgeX's fee schedule or calculate with it.
This site does not reproduce a schedule it has not read on an official page. The app's order panel does render a fee rate once you are signed in, but a rendered figure can depend on the account viewing it and is not a published schedule, so it is not quoted here as one. If you want to compare edgeX on cost against the venues that do publish rates, the fee comparison lists edgeX with "not published" beside every other venue, and the execution-cost tool can still measure slippage where a venue publishes its order book.
Gas
"Regarding gas fees for trade settlements, edgeX V1 will cover the gas costs on behalf of users." That line names V1, which has been frozen since 2026-08-14 per L2BEAT after trading moved to V2 (checked 2026-10-07). For V2 the architecture page says only that bulk settlement is anchored to Ethereum "without forcing users to bear the burden of high mainnet gas costs for every trade execution" — not that edgeX pays settlement gas. Deposits are different: the docs state the platform "does not charge any deposit fees" and that users pay only the underlying chain's gas. The docs describe USDT deposits; the live app's public V2 metadata lists USDC as the only deposit token, with a 10 USDC minimum on each of six chains.
Funding
The funding-fees page states that "funding fees are exchanged every hour between holders of
long and short positions", peer to peer, and describes the rate as an interest-rate component
plus a premium component with "a +/−0.05% dampener" added. The formula on that page is
written for an N-hour interval, and each market carries its own — on the verification date
the public metadata API listed a fundingRateIntervalMin of 240 (four hours) for
BTC — so treat the interval as a per-market setting and read it from the market you trade. The
cross-venue funding screener does not include edgeX,
because it publishes no CORS-open funding endpoint this site has verified.
Withdrawal fees
"For ETH standard withdrawals, users just need to cover the gas fees themselves. For non-ETH
withdrawals, a cross-chain withdrawal fee of 0.1% applies, with a minimum fee of 1 USD."
The live V2 app's public metadata tells a different story: it lists USDC withdrawals on six
chains with a withdrawMinFee of 1 USDC and a withdrawFeeRate of 0,
and names no BNB Chain route; read the fee in the withdrawal window before confirming.
Withdrawal chains and timings are on the how-to-start
page.
Discounts
No token-staking or referral fee discount is published in the docs. A referral programme is listed in the app's navigation, but its terms were not extractable from an official page on the verification date, so nothing about it is stated here. EDGE's documented utilities are governance and validator staking, not a fee tier.
FAQ
What is edgeX’s taker fee?
Not published in the documentation. The docs describe a volume-tier system and refer readers to a VIP page inside the app. The public metadata API lists a "default" taker rate of 0.045% and maker rate of 0.04%, but the docs do not define what "default" covers, so it is not quoted as the schedule.
Do sub-accounts pay different fees?
No. Their volume aggregates with the main account, so every sub-account shares one tier, per the docs.
How often is funding paid?
The mechanism page says hourly; the app shows a per-market interval. Read the interval on the market's order panel before holding a position over a settlement.
