In a move to drive trading activity and attract high-volume traders, cryptocurrency exchange SunPerp has announced a temporary removal of maker fees. The promotion is now live and will continue through November 3, 2025. This decision comes as competition among trading platforms increases, with many looking to offer lower-cost options to retain and grow their user base.
Maker Fees Removed for a Limited Time
SunPerp has eliminated maker fees for a limited time, aiming to reduce trading costs for liquidity providers on its platform. Maker fees are normally charged when a trader adds liquidity to the market by placing a limit order that is not immediately matched with an existing order.
The platform confirmed the launch of the promotion on its official X (formerly Twitter) account, stating, “Maker fees eliminated. You’re welcome degens.” The removal of these fees is expected to draw traders who rely on frequent order placements, particularly those involved in algorithmic or high-frequency strategies.
This fee change may make the platform more attractive to traders looking for ways to cut costs in a competitive market. While many platforms charge maker and taker fees, SunPerp is temporarily cutting one half of that structure.
Trading Incentive Comes With Restrictions
The promotion does not come without limitations. Users who choose to participate in the zero maker fee campaign will not be eligible to claim rewards from any other ongoing promotions on SunPerp. This includes any bonuses, competitions, or loyalty programs that may overlap with the campaign timeline.
In addition, the platform has stated that it reserves the right to disqualify users who engage in any form of fraudulent or manipulative trading behavior during the promotional period. This may include practices like wash trading, coordinated trading, or the use of multiple accounts to exploit the system.
The company has not disclosed details on how it will monitor or enforce these conditions but noted that rule violations may lead to removal from the promotion and further action if necessary.
A Strategy to Attract Active Traders
The fee waiver appears to be a strategic decision to attract more active and professional crypto traders. These users typically seek platforms where fees are low, execution is fast, and liquidity is high. By removing maker fees, SunPerp lowers a barrier to entry for traders who contribute to liquidity in the order book.
Many traders operate on thin profit margins and are sensitive to changes in fee structures. With maker fees removed, some may shift more of their activity to SunPerp, especially during periods of high volatility. As other exchanges continue to compete on pricing and user incentives, this move positions SunPerp to better appeal to that user segment.
According to SunPerp, this temporary measure is part of a broader effort to grow its trading volume and user engagement without increasing promotional costs. The platform’s decision also reflects a growing trend among exchanges using fee incentives to maintain market share.
Timeline and Access to the Promotion
The zero maker fee promotion started on October 21, 2025, and will run until November 3, 2025. It is available to all users on the platform during that period, but users must accept the promotion terms before participating. Accessing the offer may require enabling the promotion within the trading dashboard or settings, depending on the user’s account setup.
Users are advised to carefully read all terms and conditions before engaging in the promotion. The company emphasized that failure to comply with the rules may result in disqualification and loss of trading privileges.
The fee waiver is expected to end after the set date, with no mention of extension or renewal.
