Drift is updating its trading fee structure, effective as of 5 August 2025. This new structure introduces a unified tier model across all perpetual markets. Drift offers a competitive fee system with low taker fees and maker rebates across all tiers with the potential for even lower rates as your trading volume grows.

DRIFT stakers can also unlock stackable fee discounts and rebate boosts, enhancing the benefits for Drift’s most engaged users.

What’s Changing?

Drift’s new fee structure is built around two core principles:

1. Volume-Based Tiers: Your 30-day trading volume determines your fee tier.
2. DRIFT Staking Benefits: Stake DRIFT to earn additional discounts on taker fees and rebates on maker fees of up to 40%.

Unified volume-based fee tiers

Note: These tiers now apply across all perpetual markets.

Stake DRIFT to unlock extra benefits

By staking DRIFT, takers unlock discounts while makers receive rebates, regardless of their trading tier.

For Example: If your 30-day volume is $20M (Tier 4), your taker fee starts at 0.0250%. If you stake 50K DRIFT (20% discount), your effective taker fee is 0.0200%.

Zero-Free Markets (for a Limited Time)
