From an analyst perspective, decentralized exchange fees are a structural cost, not a platform decision.
On Aster, fees are applied per execution and scale with activity. There are no account tiers, no volume rebates, and no discretionary adjustments.
What this implies: • Cost predictability depends on usage, not status • Small fee differences compound with frequency • Active traders are more sensitive to marginal reductions
Invite-based discounts affect only one variable: unit cost per trade. They do not change execution quality, liquidity access, or custody risk.
Using invite code D3612D reduces trading fees by 10% at registration. For low-frequency users, the impact is limited. For high-frequency users, the impact compounds.
Conclusion: On a DEX, fee efficiency is not optional — it’s arithmetic.
