Fee

Execution Fee (Open / Close)

An execution fee of 0.05% is charged whenever you open or close a position.

  • Example 1 (Open Position: BTC)

    • Trade: Long BTC

    • Price: BTC = $120,000

    • Margin: $7,000 USDC

    • Leverage: 10× → Position Size = $70,000

    • Fee = $70,000 × 0.05% = $35.00

    • Remaining Margin = $6,965

    • Final Position Size = $69,650

  • Example 2 (Close Position: BTC, +10%)

    • Price rises to $132,000

    • Position Size = $77,000

    • Fee = $77,000 × 0.05% = $38.50

    • Profit = $7,000 → Total before fee = $13,965

    • After fee = $13,926.50

  • Example 3 (Open Position: ETH)

    • Price: ETH = $4,000

    • Margin: $200 USDC

    • Leverage: 10× → Position Size = $2,000

    • Fee = $2,000 × 0.05% = $1.00

    • Remaining Margin = $199

    • Final Position Size = $1,990

  • Example 4 (Close Position: ETH, +10%)

    • Price rises to $4,400

    • Position Size = $2,200

    • Fee = $2,200 × 0.05% = $1.10

    • Profit = $200 → Total before fee = $399

    • After fee = $397.90


Funding Fee

The funding fee balances Long and Short positions in each market.

  • If the funding rate is positive → Longs pay Shorts.

  • If the funding rate is negative → Shorts pay Longs.

  • Funding fees scale with your position size and the funding rate shown in the Zygo UI.

Funding fees are applied periodically (block basis). Holding positions for long periods without monitoring can lead to liquidation from accumulated funding fees, even if prices do not move.


Margin Adjustment Fee

When adding or removing margin from an open position, a 0.1% fee is applied to the adjusted amount.

  • Example: Adding 100 USDC → Fee = 0.1 USDC
