How this index is built
- Fees are the standard rates for regular (VIP 0) accounts on USDT-margined perpetual futures, without token discounts, VIP tiers or promotions.
- Effective taker fee = taker fee × (1 − your fee rebate share). The rebate share is the base rate shown on each exchange page; limited-time welcome boosts are left out.
- Exchanges without a loweef rebate are listed at their standard fee, so the effective fee equals the taker fee.
- Each fee is checked against the exchange's official fee page. A row older than 120 days is removed from the index until it is checked again.
Monthly reports
Each monthly report fixes the index to one date, so figures quoted from it stay checkable.
