Fee Structure
GoDark uses a maker-taker model. Fees are tier-driven; read your assignment from GET /api/v1/tiers/status and the published configuration from GET /api/v1/tiers/config.

Tier configuration is stored in basis points where 1 bp = 0.01%. The schedule above is sourced from migration 040_tier_fee_schedule_v2; the live tier routes are authoritative if operations has changed configuration.
Fee Collection
- Maker and taker fees are computed at match time and included in the net position delta.
- Fees are deducted at settlement.
- Fees are transferred in USDC to the GoDark fee wallet as part of the settlement transaction.
