# Fees

Maxbid is designed to grow together with its community. Our fee model rewards both traders and referrers, creating a system where everyone benefits from platform growth.

#### Base Trading Fee

The standard trading fee on Maxbid is:

**1% per trade (Spot)**

This fee helps support platform infrastructure, liquidity, development, and ongoing improvements.

### Referral Discount & Rewards

If a user joins Maxbid through a referral link, both traders benefit.

#### Benefits for Referred Users

Users who join through a referral link receive:

**20% discount on trading fees**

This means instead of paying the full **1% fee**, the trader only pays:

**0.8% trading fee**

***

#### Benefits for Referrers

The person who shared the referral link earns:

**50% of the trading fees generated by that user**

Example:

Trade Size: **$1,000**

The Maxbid referral system is designed to align incentives between the platform, traders, and community members.

Instead of relying on traditional marketing, Maxbid rewards users who help grow the ecosystem.

The more traders you onboard, the more rewards you can earn - while helping expand the Maxbid trading network.
