Fees

Tickside fees and venue fees explained simply.

Tickside fees

Tickside currently adds no fee. There is no Tickside subscription fee and no extra Tickside fee on maker or taker orders.

If this changes, the new fee will be shown before it applies.

Venue fees

Every venue sets its own rules. A fee can depend on the venue, market, price, side, maker or taker status, account tier and current venue policy.

Polymarket and Hyperliquid are each the authority for the final fee charged on their fills. Tickside uses the available venue schedule before execution and replaces an estimate with the fee confirmed by the venue when it arrives.

1. Before the fill

   The ladder uses the venue fee information available for the active account and market. If a required fee cannot be verified, Tickside does not treat it as zero.

2. After the fill

   Tickside replaces an estimate with the fee confirmed by the venue when that value arrives.

3. In P&L

   Net P&L includes venue fees. Tickside does not add a separate fee today.

Maker and taker describe how an order meets the book. They do not guarantee a particular fee across every venue or market.

Transfer and network costs

A venue or bridge can charge a deposit, withdrawal or conversion fee. A blockchain transaction can also require gas. Tickside shows the available quote before confirmation. The wallet prompt and final venue record are authoritative if the cost changes.

Tickside does not add a transfer fee and does not sponsor Hyperliquid transfer gas.

Polymarket

Polymarket fees depend on the current venue schedule for the market. Tickside uses confirmed fill fees when available. A custom Polymarket fee setting affects estimates and paper trading only where the app says so. It never changes the fee charged by Polymarket.

Hyperliquid outcome markets

Hyperliquid shows the effective maker and taker rates for the connected account. Buys are free under the current outcome market model. Sells pay the account’s applicable maker or taker fee. Tickside reads these rates from Hyperliquid and uses the actual fill fee as the final value.
