# Spot Fee Structure

In appreciation of our users' support, Aster is introducing a VIP program on Aster spot and Aster perpetual. Fees are based on your rolling 14 day volume and are assessed at the end of each day in UTC.

**Maker fee**: 0.005%

Example: Buying 0.1 BTC at 100,000 with a maker order → 100,000 × 0.1 × 0.005% = 0.5 USDT

**Taker fee**: 0.04%

Example: Buying 0.1 BTC at 100,000 with a taker order → 100,000 × 0.1 × 0.04% = 4 USDT

**What are maker and taker?**

**Maker:** When you place an order with a set price and quantity that goes into the order book and waits to be filled, you are a maker. Maker orders add liquidity to the market.

**Taker:** When you place an order that matches and executes immediately against an existing order in the book, you are a taker. Taker orders remove liquidity from the market.

**How to use $ASTER to pay spot trading fees and get a 5% discount?**

You can save 5% on spot trading fees when you pay with $ASTER. Simply deposit $ASTER into your spot wallet, and toggle on 'Pay fee in ASTER'. As long as you have $ASTER in your spot wallet and settings toggled on, your $ASTER will be deducted to pay fees first with 5% discount.
