Recently, there has been an interesting phenomenon—some DEXs are starting to support institutional-level trading. In the past, everyone's impression of decentralized exchanges was: high trading freedom, but the fees and hidden costs were indeed not cheap. Now, some platforms are directly cutting the order placement fee rate to 0%, and the taker fee rate is only 0.012%.

What’s more attractive is the accompanying incentive schemes. As long as the monthly trading volume reaches a certain scale, the official will directly provide cash subsidies. This kind of move actually reflects a trend: the DEX market is beginning to focus on institutional user experience, aiming to reshape trading order through fee optimization and incentive policies. For traders, lower costs indeed mean more profit potential.

Wow, 0% trading fee? Is this serious? It feels a bit too outrageous. DEX finally realizes that fee rates are a major weakness, about time they did this. Monthly trading volume subsidies sound good, but it depends on how much real money they can actually provide—don't just make empty promises. Will institutions really migrate to smaller DEXs just because of these discounts? I'm a bit skeptical. It's good that the fee rate has been lowered, but I'm worried that trading depth can't keep up—slippage is the real issue. Honestly, it still comes down to liquidity; low fees are useless if the liquidity is garbage. This round is about competing for institutional clients; Uniswap should be nervous. Wait, will the incentive policies turn out to be just like those airdrops, ultimately all empty promises? It feels like another subsidy war is starting, and this time it's DEXs' turn.

0% order fee? This game is played quite deeply, really trying to snatch the institutions' orders.

0% order fee? Is this some kind of hype or what?

Fee subsidy is essentially burning money for growth. So what if institutions come? When liquidity breaks, no one can save it.

Wow, 0% order fee? Is this real? Or is it some kind of trick again? Wait, it really dropped to 0.012%? So what about the fees I paid on other platforms before? Regarding institutional subsidies, can retail investors benefit from it, or is it just the same old story? DEX is really starting to get competitive now, it’s about time. Honestly, looking at these rates, I find it hard to believe. Usually, the cheaper it is, the bigger the trap. Will the subsidy policy have a very high threshold again? We small retail investors just can’t get a handle on it. Hey, has anyone actually used this platform? Is it stable? If this is true, I need to switch over immediately. I can't be cut by fees anymore.
