Fees & Pricing

Do I need a Pro account to trade?

No, free user can trade on Nansen too. You just need to Sign Up!

What are the perps trading fees?

Every perps trade is the Hyperliquid base fee plus a Nansen builder fee. Your Points tier sets the builder fee - the higher your tier, the less you pay.

The following are Nansen builder fees per tier:

NOTE: Effective taker fee = Nansen’s builder fee + Hyperliquid base fee

What are the spot trading fees?

Spot trades are currently priced depending on your Points tier:

Note: Spot trading is executed through DEX AMMs, which use a single fee structure that does not distinguish between taker and maker fees.

Do you offer gasless transactions?

Yes, we offer gasless transactions, however the minimum trade balance needs to be more than $10 for it to work.

Gasless transactions are onchain transactions where the end user does not directly pay the gas (network fee); instead, a third party or the application covers or abstracts those costs.

Why do fees vary so much between trades?

Our routing aggregator shows you the comparison across Jupiter, OKX, and Li.Fi. Whichever route has the lower fees, it'll recommend that one.

For large trades, consider:

• Trading during off-peak hours (lower gas)

• Using L2s like Base, cheaper than Ethereum mainnet

• Splitting into smaller trades (better pricing for large swaps)

The price shown is different from what I paid. Why?

This is slippage - the price moved between quote and execution.

Happens when:

• Market is volatile

• Token has low liquidity

• Large trade size (your trade itself moves the price)

• Network congestion (delayed execution)
