# Trading Fees

For both perpetual futures and spot markets, Standard Accounts pay no maker or taker fees on regular orders. Standard Accounts pay 1 bp (0.01%) on TWAP/advanced orders and RFQ. [Binary options](/trading/binary-options/fee-structure.md) have a separate fee model. Plus and Premium/Advanced Accounts are subject to maker and taker fees. Premium/Advanced Accounts can receive fee discounts by staking LIT.

### Account Types

#### Plus Accounts (Opt-In) — Suitable for latency-insensitive users, looking to get increased rate limits.

This tier can be enabled using the `changeAccountTier` endpoint via API or switched to via account type on the app.

### Fee Discounts for Premium/Advanced Accounts via Staking

All Premium/Advanced Account fees will be eligible for staking discounts. Staking discounts will be applied at the L1 address level, where the total staked LIT is calculated as the combined stake across the main account and all associated sub-accounts.

As a result, the main account and its sub-accounts will share the same staking tier, determined by the aggregated LIT stake.

#### Rate Limits Considerations

We’ll adjust rate limits so users can consolidate activity through subaccounts without downside.

Users can also link addresses through contacting the Lighter team to share a single tier based on total staked LIT. In-app wallet linking is coming soon.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.lighter.xyz/trading/trading-fees.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
