Introducing Zero Fee Perps 🔥
Zero Fee Perps (ZFP) are now live on Mainnet.
Starting today, every retail trader on Paradex pays $0 in trading fees (maker or taker) on 100+ perpetual futures across web and mobile.
What “zero” means here
- $0 fees for retail on every perp, win or lose.
- Always-on — not a promo, not capped, not limited to a few markets.
- The only frictions left are spread and funding (as it should be).
TL;DR: Keep your edge. Stop paying tolls.
Fee Structure
Why Zero Fee Perps are inevitable
The current affiliate-driven distribution model is broken. Many CEXs charge 5–10 bps, then hand 60–90% of that to KOLs to buy distribution. Users get overcharged so platforms can overpay middlemen; KOL relationships stay purely transactional and churn to the next highest rev share. It’s a race to zero with the retail trader footing the bill.
Paradex is built for direct access: no custody middlemen and no distribution tax. Creators still matter, so we’re rolling out a new affiliate model that makes KOLs long-term owners not just rev-share renters via an explicit token allocation. Better economics. Better trust. Better outcomes.
How we make money (and keep fees at $0)
Paradex earns from RPI (Retail Price Improvement) maker flow, not from retail takers. Professional market makers post RPI-flagged orders that are visible in the UI (for retail) and hidden from the API. These quotes only match against retail taker orders, reducing adverse selection. In return, makers price tighter with more size and pay 0.5 bps (0.005%) on RPI fills to Paradex. This micro-fee, at scale, funds Zero Fee Perps sustainably. Separately, high-frequency API takers pay 2 bps (0.02%). Over time, we’ll transition to toxicity-based fees.
It’s analogous to TradFi PFOF (e.g., Robinhood) with one key difference: orders are not selectively routed to a few market makers. All makers compete on an even playing field for retail flow; best price/size wins. Retail keeps $0 fees and gets price improvement; makers get curated flow; and Paradex earns a durable revenue line.
Won’t spreads widen?
No. RPI reduces toxicity, which lets makers quote tighter spreads with more size. In fact, after adjusting for fees paid Paradex beats the top exchanges ~96% of the time on majors at $100k orders.

TLDR;
Fees were a tax on coordination. We’re removing them.
Trade perps but pay ZERO. Keep your fees as edge—and help us build a model where users, affiliates, and the venue win together.

🔎ANALYSIS - @crypto_unicorns
Exciting developments are happening in the Crypto Unicorns ecosystem.
As the ecosystem progresses from Polygon blockchain to an Arbitrum Orbit chain called XAI, we witness the dawn of a new era. June 2024 signals a transition towards smoother, more seamless experiences for all residents of this fantastic world, with ultra-fast transactions and no gas fees.
Guiding this transformation is Laguna Games, an innovation symbol with a globally distributed team that respects personal data. With over 80 members, their dedication has accelerated the evolution of Crypto Unicorns, turning it into a thriving community rather than just a game.
The journey from Crypto Unicorns' inception on Polygon to its transition to XAI has been remarkable. With support from giants like Delphi, Bitkraft, and Polygon, it raised over 26 million, breaking records and pioneering new paths in blockchain gaming.
As the core gameplay evolves, so do the narratives driving it. The transition from $RBW to $CU tokens heralds a new dawn, promising a first-class experience to all ventures in the field. With a new graph on the brink of a gaming bull run, the stage is set for an exciting adventure.
But it's not just about tokens and transitions; it's about the community. Participating in the Liquidity Bootstrapping Event is not just a transaction but a commitment to the Crypto Unicorns universe, directly impacting the community consciousness.
As the journey of building the ecosystem continues, so does the spirit of innovation. The transition to XAI, Arbitrum's layer 3, opens up new horizons, offering faster transactions, access to bridged ETH liquidity, and numerous partnerships to those bold enough to embrace the winds of change.
🪂 Events and Airdrop System:
The Liquidity Bootstrapping Event on May 7th provides an excellent opportunity for participation in the Crypto Unicorns ecosystem and to learn more about the new $CU token. Celebrating the launch of the Rainbow Bridge and Staking Website, this event is organized.
First, participants will take a step to transfer $RBW tokens to Arbitrum and then convert them into new $CU tokens. This is an exciting step in changing the governance token of the Crypto Unicorns ecosystem and reaching a broader user base.
Next, a new staking website where you can stake your $CU tokens was launched on May 7th through the staking portal. This portal offers two main options: single token staking and dual token staking.
Single token staking will be familiar to those who previously had $RBW tokens. It allows you to stake your $CU tokens without pairing and earn an APR only with $CU tokens. Additionally, you can choose a period between 1 and 12 months and receive increased rewards for longer-term staking commitments.
Dual token staking involves a Camelot DEX-based liquidity pool, where you provide liquidity as a $CU and $ETH pair to receive $CULP tokens and earn fees from trades in the pool. You can also stake your $CULP tokens for additional rewards and compete on the leaderboard for rewards.
Lastly, the Liquidity Bootstrapping Event will offer additional rewards through a leaderboard and encourage competition among staking participants. This event will run from May 7th to June 21st, 2024, and include rewards distribution with various modifiers.
This event will contribute to the growth of the Crypto Unicorns ecosystem and serve as an exciting gateway for new users.

My conviction on gaming projects are driven by the underlying principles of community building.
I’d like to mention one of the OGs within this space @crypto_unicorns for leading the charge for several years now. Knowing their team personally made me double down on their roadmap in the upcoming days.
Crypto Unicorns is a browser-based blockchain gaming ecosystem where players breed, collect, and battle Unicorns. Developed by Laguna Games, a doxxed team with over 80 members worldwide, this ecosystem is known for its immersive gameplay and economic depth.
In June 2024, Crypto Unicorns will migrate from the Polygon blockchain to XAI, one of the Arbitrum Orbit chains, enabling ultra-fast, gasless transactions 🚀
With a massive Play-to-Airdrop campaign just launched, players can earn token rewards, and even score a mysterious XAI airdrop after 60 days of gameplay. Daily challenges and Shadowcorn rewards to maximize gains is something I am keeping a close watch on.
If you’re not too sure about what’s brewing, here’s some solid ALPHA for you to lock in:
➪ Crypto Unicorns announced their migration from Polygon to a new Arbitrum based L3 called XAI.
➪ The migration process has begun with the successful conversion of RBW tokens to CU at a 10-to-1 ratio, allowing for direct staking at an estimated 28% APR for 12 months.
➪ Dual $CULP token staking with additional rewards like $CU, $XAI, and more. I was stoked to know we can expect over 100% APR for staking over 12 months.
➪ Shadowcorn contracts are temporarily unavailable as assets are being bridged to the new network for gameplay.
Crypto Unicorns, having raised over $26M from backers like Delphi, Bitkraft, and Polygon, boasts the most successful Copperlaunch in Polygon history. With it’s current migration to XAI, it promises unparalleled bridged ETH liquidity, free gas for players, and great partnership opportunities with new projects.
Personally, I am excited for this migration as this is going to be a huge ecosystem booster for this space. Always bullish on teams that are willing to evolve and adapt in order to build a sustainable platform for their community.
Excited to be involved with a solid group of builders pushing through. Keep those eyes peeled - you’re not ready for what’s next 🔥
