Fees
Open & Close Fees
Fees are applied every time you open or increase a position, and again when you close or decrease it. The fee is calculated as a percentage of the position size (not collateral).
Position Fee Structure
Positive Impact (improves long/short balance)
0.04%
Negative Impact (worsens long/short balance)
0.06%
Example: Opening a $10,000 position with neutral impact → Fee = $5 USDC (0.05% average).

Fee Distribution Process
MegaBanX ensures full transparency in its distribution of collected fees. We maintain a detailed infographic illustrating how transaction fees flow from traders to the liquidity pool, staking rewards, and protocol treasury.
For a complete breakdown of our fee collection trigger points and final distribution routing, please see our dedicated page:
[!NOTE] Claimable Rewards: The protocol's share is collected daily by the FeesClaimService and routed to stakers. LP rewards are automatic and reflected in the token exchange rate.
Borrowing Fees
Borrowing fees accrue per second based on your position size and the pool's current utilization rate. The more the pool is utilized, the higher the rate.
Typical rate: ~15.77% per year at 100% pool utilization
Charged continuously while a position is open
Added to (or deducted from) your collateral on position close
Distribution: 37% to protocol, 63% to LP pool (same split as position fees).
Funding Rates
Funding is a direct peer-to-peer transfer between traders. It is NOT protocol revenue.
When Long OI > Short OI: Longs pay Shorts.
When Short OI > Long OI: Shorts pay Longs.
Settlement: Continuously accruing, realized on close or transfer each 8 hours.
Max annual rate: ~90% per year at 100% skew.
Liquidation Fees
If your position is liquidated, a fee is deducted from your remaining collateral.
Crypto (ETH, BNB)
0.20% - 0.30% of position size
Synthetic / Gold (XAU)
0.30% - 0.45% of position size
Indices / Equities (CSPX)
0.30% - 0.45% of position size
Distribution: 37% to protocol treasury, 63% to the LP pool.
Price Impact Fee
A virtual fee mechanism to incentivize balanced trading:
Negative Impact (worsening imbalance): You pay an extra fee.
Positive Impact (improving imbalance): You receive a bonus discount.
This is NOT a protocol fee — negative impact goes into an Impact Pool for future positive-impact traders.
Referral Discounts
Traders using a referral code can receive a discount on position fees. Affiliates earn a share of the fees paid by their referees.
