Why the ranking changes at your volume

Most venues cut rates as your 30-day volume climbs, and the breakpoints differ: an exchange that's mid-pack at $10k/month can be cheapest at $1M/month once its tier discounts kick in. Maker rebates and token discounts (paying fees in BNB, GT, BGB, BMX) shift it further. The table above is the honest entry-tier picture; the calculator applies each venue's full tier table to your number.
