# Spot Market Maker program

To deepen liquidity and elevate the trading experience on Aster Spot, we're launching the Aster Spot Market Maker Program — offering qualified market makers enhanced maker fee rebates on selected trading pairs.<br>

**MM Preferential Fees**

| Tier | Taker Fee (bps) | Maker Fee (bps) |
| ---- | --------------- | --------------- |
| MM 1 | 3.0             | -0.25           |
| MM 2 | 2.7             | -0.50           |
| MM 3 | 2.3             | -1.00           |

For market maker rebates, the trading interface will display your applicable Taker fee rate (determined by your volume tier or marker volume percentage) and a Maker fee of "0". Please note that our system calculates and disburses Maker rebates every hour based on the published fee schedule. These rebates can be tracked in the transaction history under Aster Spot.

#### Application Process

[Apply via this form](https://forms.gle/example) – the Aster team will contact you within three working days.

Requirements:

* Minimum 20M USD monthly spot cumulative trading volume (on Aster or other trading platforms).
* If eligible, Aster will whitelist your IPs and configure fees for your MM account, starting from Tier 1.

#### **Disclaimer**

*Aster reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the Spot Market Maker Program at any time, including but not limited to changes in eligibility criteria, reward allocation methodology, token distribution schedules, and qualifying requirements. All participants are responsible for reviewing the most up-to-date program terms published by Aster. Participation in the program does not constitute a binding agreement, and Aster retains full discretion in the interpretation and enforcement of program rules.*
