Fee Structure

The following fee structure only applies to trading against the MUX native pool (MUXLP pool). If a trader's position routes to a third-party underlying leveraged trading protocol through the MUX aggregator, the fee structure will adapt accordingly. Please check the Aggregator section and related underlying protocol docs for more details.

MUX Native Trading Protocol

Position Fee

The MUX protocol charges position fees when traders open and close positions. The position fee is fixed at 0.075% and calculated as follows:

  • Open Fee: 0.075% × Asset Price × Position Size

  • Close Fee: 0.075% × Asset Price × Position Size

The collected position fees are allocated between external MUXLP stakers, veMUX holders and POL. Please check Protocol Income Allocation for more details.

Funding Payments

After traders borrow pooled assets for positions, the MUX protocol charges funding payments, which can be seen as borrowing fees from positions. The funding payment is collected every 1 hour. Long and short positions funding are calculated separately on MUX.

fundingFeeRate = max{utilization × limitRate, baseRate}

baseRate (Annualized)

  • Long - ETH: 8%

  • Long - BTC: 8%

  • Long - ARB: 8%

  • Long - BNB: 8%

  • Long - AVAX: 8%

  • Long - FTM: 8%

  • Short: 8%

limitRate (Annualized)

  • Long - ETH: 40%

  • Long - BTC: 40%

  • Long - ARB: 40%

  • Long - BNB: 40%

  • Long - AVAX: 40%

  • Long - FTM: 40%

  • Short: 50%

Utilization calculation examples:

  • ETH utilization = global long ETH position / ETH in pool

  • Short utilization = global short position / Stablecoins in pool

The collected funding fees are allocated between external MUXLP stakers, veMUX holders and POL, the same as the collected position fee allocated. The baseRate and limitRate might change in the future as the MUX dev contributors makes continuous evaluations.

Liquidation Fee

The maintenance margin (MM) on the MUX protocol is 0.5%, and the liquidation fee is 0.075%. Therefore, 0.075% (if it exists) margin will be collected as the fee when a position is liquidated. The remaining margin after liquidation will return to traders.

The liquidation fee will be shared between external MUXLP stakers, veMUX holders and POL, the same as the collected position fee allocated.

Spread

MUX offers 0% spreads under the ETH and BTC market. The spreads under BNB, AVAX and FTM markets are fixed.

  • ETH: 0%

  • BTC: 0%

  • ARB: 0.075%

  • BNB: 0.12%

  • FTM: 0.12%

  • AVAX: 0.15%

MUX Degen Protocol

Position Fee

The MUX Degen protocol charges position fees when traders open and close positions. The position fee is fixed at 0.075% and calculated as follows:

  • Open Fee: 0.075% × Asset Price × Position Size

  • Close Fee: 0.075% × Asset Price × Position Size

The collected position fees are allocated between LPs, veMUX holders and the DegenLP Pool. Please check Protocol Income Allocation for more details.

Borrowing Fee

The MUX Degen protocol charges borrowing fees for the pooled liquidity reserved for traders’ long or short positions. Both long and short positions will always be charged for borrowing fees despite the skew. The borrowing fee will be charged from the position’s collateral every hour. The borrowing rate is fixed at 5% of the position size annually. The collected borrowing fees are allocated between LPs, veMUX holders and the DegenLP Pool. Please check Protocol Income Allocation for more details.

Funding Fee

After traders reserve pooled assets for positions, the MUX Degen Protocol charges funding payments from positions on the skewed side. The funding payment is collected every 1 hour.

The funding fee rate for the less skewed side is 0%; the funding fee rate for the skewed side will be up to 50% annually.

fundingRateAPY = max(abs(longs - shorts) / α * β, β)

  • When the skew is 0, the funding rate APY is 0; when the skew is α, the funding rate APY is β

The collected funding fees are allocated between LPs, veMUX holders and the DegenLP Pool. Please check Protocol Income Allocation for more details.

Price Impact

The MUX Degen Protocol uses dynamic price impact to adjust trading prices based on the position size; the deployed mechanism will mitigate price manipulation risks and ensure a fairer and more stable trading experience for all participants. The price impact will always be positive.
