### **💰 Fee Schedule**

Our fee structure rewards higher trading volumes with significantly reduced rates across six tiers:

| ---------------- | ------------------------- | ------------- | ------------- |
| **Tier 0**       | Under $100K               | 0.10%         | 0.20%         |
| **Tier 1**       | $100K – $5M               | 0.05%         | 0.10%         |
| **Tier 2**       | ≥ $5M                     | 0.04%         | 0.08%         |
| **Tier 3**       | ≥ $20M                    | 0.03%         | 0.06%         |

### **🔄 30-Day Rolling Trading Volume**

Your fee tier is determined by your total trading volume over the 30 calendar days, calculated on a rolling basis. This system ensures your fees always reflect your recent trading activity.

#### **How Rolling Volume Works**

* Daily Recalculation: Every day at midnight UTC, the exchange recalculates your trading volume by summing your total activity over the past 30 days.
* Rolling Window: The "30 days" is not a fixed calendar month but a continuously shifting window that moves forward each day.
* Real-time Updates: Your fee tier updates daily based on this calculation, ensuring your trading fees always reflect your current activity level.

#### **📈 Practical Example: Alice's Trading Journey**

Alice starts trading on Yamata:

* Days 1-10: Alice trades $40K total volume;
* Days 11-20: Alice trades additional $30K (cumulative: $70K );
* Days 21-30: Alice trades additional $35K (cumulative: $105K ).

**Result**: On Day 30, Alice crosses the $100K threshold and moves from Tier 0 to Tier 1 , reducing her maker fees from 0.10% to 0.05% and taker fees from 0.20% to 0.10%.

**Continuing**: On Day 45, the system calculates Alice's volume from Day 15 to Day 44. If her volume drops below $100K in that window, she returns to Tier 0 until her volume increases again.
