Remember when exchange fees worked for you?
You run bots. You write algos. You hit exchange APIs every day, and you're tired of paying 40+ bps to do it. We charge 0/4 bps. You get clean REST and WebSocket APIs, plus direct engineering support when something breaks. Not an institution? This is built for you.
Deposit and trade $1,000, get $100.
You didn't change. The fees did.
