Variational charges no standard maker or taker fee.
Variational charges no standard maker or taker fee. Funding usually matters more than headline fees.
Headline fees are only part of the cost. The funding rate is a recurring payment between longs and shorts that often matters more than the trading fee for positions held beyond a few hours, and slippage grows on larger orders.
Among the venues we track, Variational ranks #3 by taker fee. Compare them all on the lowest-fee perp DEX ranking.
