GRVT Fees (2026): 9 Tiers, Maker Rebates, Spot Ladder
Rates verified against GRVT's help-centre articles on fees, spot trading, membership, Multi-Asset Margin, funding, deposits and withdrawals on 2026-09-21.
GRVT prices like a centralised exchange: a volume ladder with nine levels, a rebate for makers from the very first level, a separate ladder for spot, and a token-lock programme that buys a better tier. This page reproduces the schedule as the help centre states it, then the costs that sit outside the headline rate — borrowing inside Multi-Asset Margin, funding, liquidation and the bridge fees on the way in and out.
Perpetual trading fees: nine tiers
The fee model page describes "a 9-tier model to classify users based on trading volume in USD", with tiers "updated daily at 8 am UTC" from "30-day futures trading volume". The spot article adds that the 30-day figure "is based on perps+spot trading volume". A negative maker rate is a rebate paid to you.
| Tier | Maker | Taker | 30-day volume from |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | −0.0001% | 0.045% | $0 |
| Level 2 | −0.0004% | 0.042% | $1,000,000 |
| Level 3 | −0.0008% | 0.039% | $5,000,000 |
| Level 4 | −0.001% | 0.037% | $10,000,000 |
| Level 5 | −0.0015% | 0.034% | $50,000,000 |
| Level 6 | −0.002% | 0.032% | $100,000,000 |
| Level 7 | −0.0023% | 0.029% | $250,000,000 |
| Level 8 | −0.0025% | 0.026% | $500,000,000 |
| Level 9 | −0.003% | 0.024% | $1,000,000,000 |
The page dates this ladder as "active after March 23, 2026, 4:00 AM UTC"; the earlier model, which also weighed total asset value, is shown on the same page as expired. There is no retail-versus-API split: everyone starts at Level 1, and the only ways up are volume or the membership lock below.
Spot trading fees
| Tier | Spot maker | Spot taker |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 0.06% | 0.085% |
| Level 2 | 0.0525% | 0.075% |
| Level 3 | 0.045% | 0.065% |
| Level 4 | 0.04% | 0.062% |
| Level 5 | 0.025% | 0.047% |
| Level 6 | 0.0175% | 0.0375% |
| Level 7 | 0.005% | 0.035% |
| Level 8 | 0% | 0.03% |
| Level 9 | 0% | 0.025% |
The tiers share the perpetual ladder's volume thresholds. Spot has a minimum order size of 1 USDC and a minimum order value of 5 USDT, settles "instantly" into the trading account's spot wallet, and offers market, limit and scale orders only.
Membership: locking GRVT buys a tier
"GRVT Membership is a tiered program that rewards you for holding GRVT tokens." The tier is set by "how many tokens you lock and how long you lock them for", and "your tier includes a fee tier upgrade that applies to all trading fees, on both perps and spot".
| Membership tier | Minimum lock | Minimum duration | Fee tier granted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | 1 GRVT | 1 week | Level 1 (base) |
| Silver | 2,500 GRVT | 1 month | Level 2 |
| Gold | 10,000 GRVT | 3 months | Level 3 |
| Platinum | 50,000 GRVT | 6 months | Level 4 |
Locked tokens "are non-tradable until you complete the unlock process, including the 7-day cooldown", and the docs warn that "fee discounts and GLP allocations are platform-configurable and can be adjusted at any time". Whether the membership tier or the volume tier applies when both qualify is not stated on the page read.
Multi-Asset Margin: repayment fees and interest
Perps settle in USDT. With Multi-Asset Margin on, USDC counts as collateral at 99.5% and USDT at 99.8%, and when a fee, funding payment or loss pushes the USDT balance below zero "the system automatically borrows USDT against your other collateral". "You then pay hourly interest on the borrowed amount until it's repaid"; the rate is not published in the guide. Clearing the debt by converting USDC carries a repayment fee of "the greater of 0.1% (a fixed floor) or the asset's haircut ÷ a factor", where the factor is 8 for a manual repayment, 4 for an automated one and 2 in a liquidation. For USDC that works out as:
| Repayment type | When it happens | Fee on the converted amount |
|---|---|---|
| Manual | You repay via Repay or Convert | 0.1% (the floor) |
| Automated | You hit your borrow limit, or an undeployed loan reaches 95% LTV | 0.125% |
| Liquidation | Your maintenance margin ratio reaches 100% | 0.25% |
"Depositing USDT directly to clear your debt has no conversion fee." A margin-call notification arrives "when MMR reaches 90%, and liquidation begins at 100%".
Funding
"Markets are configured for 1 hour, 4 hours, or 8 hours" funding intervals; on the public instrument list read on 2026-09-21, 125 perps settle every 8 hours and 69 every 4 hours. The payment at settlement is |position size| × mark price × funding rate. The rate comes from the premium of a fair price — recomputed "every 5 seconds" as "the median of Best Bid, Best Ask, and Last Trade" — over a spot index that prioritises Binance's index when fresh. The average premium is then pulled toward +0.01% by at most ±0.05%, scaled by 8 ÷ the interval in hours, and clamped to a per-instrument floor and cap: "exact cap/floor values and intervals are instrument-specific and displayed on the API and the UI". Funding is "peer-to-peer between longs and shorts. It is not an exchange fee", and "if you are flat at that instant, you don't pay or receive funding for that interval". GRVT is not yet in this site's cross-venue funding screener.
Liquidation
- Full liquidation. "When a liquidation is triggered, the system takes over the entire position or account balance" and transfers it to the insurance fund at the bankruptcy price. If the market is better than that price "the remaining value goes to the Insurance Fund"; if worse, the fund covers the deficit.
- Liquidation fee. The User Agreement defines a Liquidation Fee "as set out in the Fee Schedule", but the fee-model article read on 2026-09-21 publishes no rate for it. Inside Multi-Asset Margin, a liquidation that converts USDC carries the 0.25% repayment fee above.
- Socialised losses. If the insurance fund's equity turns negative, "all withdrawals will be penalized" by a haircut equal to the deficit divided by total client equity, until the fund is recapitalised. Users who do not withdraw during the deficit are not charged.
Deposits and withdrawals
| Network | Deposit fee | Withdrawal fee |
|---|---|---|
| Ethereum (GRVT native bridge) | None; you pay gas | 2 USDT |
| Arbitrum One, Base, BNB Smart Chain, Tron, KAIA, Solana (Rhino multichain bridge) | None from GRVT; a sending exchange may charge | 1 USDT + gas charged by Rhino.fi |
From the fees article dated 28 July 2026. "GRVT has no minimum withdrawal amount, but you must have sufficient funds to cover the withdrawal fee." Minimum deposits over the Rhino bridge are 1 USDT or USDC on Arbitrum and BNB Smart Chain, 1 USDT on KAIA and Solana, 1 USDC on Base and 5 USDT on Tron, and "depositing less than the minimum deposit amount will result in the loss of the funds for that deposit". Timings are on the how-to page.
FAQ
Is the maker rebate real for a small trader?
Yes, by the schedule: Level 1 lists a maker rate of −0.0001% from $0 of volume, so a resting order that fills is paid a hundredth of a basis point rather than charged. It is small enough that this site's comparison rounds GRVT's maker rate to zero for ranking purposes while showing the published figure.
How does 0.045% taker compare?
It matches Hyperliquid's base taker rate and sits above the 0.025% flat taker at Extended and the 0% retail rates at Paradex and Lighter. The fee comparison and the execution-cost tool put the rate against real book depth.
Does spot volume help my perp tier?
The spot article says the 30-day figure "is based on perps+spot trading volume"; the fee-model page's own note says "30-day futures trading volume determines tier upgrades or downgrades". The two pages disagree on whether spot counts, and this site reports both rather than picking one.
