Methodology
Figures are the base tier a new account starts on (regular user, VIP 0 or the venue’s equivalent) for spot pairs and USDT-margined perpetuals, copied from the exchange’s own fee page or fee endpoint. VIP tiers, token discounts, promotions and referral rebates are not included.
The source URL and review date accompany each row. If the official page leaves a fee unstated, or we could not verify it, the field stays empty and is marked “not checked”. We do not substitute figures from another site.
We publish the index monthly. Fee-page changes enter the next review, when we also update the edition date.
