  • $1.25M per 30-day rolling period in perps volume

    OR

  • $250k per 30-day rolling period in spot volume

Benefits

How do Alpha Room trading fees work?

Nansen charges a builder fee in addition to the underlying fees charged by the spot router or Hyperliquid. Alpha Room members receive significantly reduced Nansen builder fee rates:

  • Perpetuals: 1 basis point on top of Hyperliquid fees

  • Spot: 10 basis points on top of the underlying router fees

These rates represent an approximately 87% reduction compared with Nansen’s standard builder fees for both spot and perpetuals.

The reduced rates are applied automatically once you are accepted into Alpha Room and remain fixed regardless of your trading volume within the program.

It includes Nansen’s Smart Money research team, who will post market insights, onchain signals, and market signals on a rotating basis.

Additional Context

Is Alpha Room connected to Nansen Points?

No. Alpha Room is separate from Nansen Points.

The program is gated by trading volume, not Points balance. This keeps the group focused on active, high-volume traders rather than general loyalty or engagement.

How is Alpha Room different from a normal exchange VIP program?

Alpha Room takes common VIP program benefits, such as better fees, direct support, and exclusive access, and combines them with Nansen’s data and research edge.
