There’s a trading platform with a pretty disruptive approach—it doesn’t charge you fees; instead, it actually pays you to trade.

So how does this “paying you” work? First, the margin you deposit doesn’t just sit idle; it’s automatically linked to on-chain protocols to earn a 10% annual yield. As for order placement, while traditional exchanges might let Makers trade for free at best, here you actually get a rebate—you earn extra by providing liquidity.

The technical setup is smart too: order matching runs off-chain, so the speed can rival centralized exchanges; fund settlement uses zkSync, bringing security up to DeFi standards. As for privacy protection, it looks like they’re aiming to strike a balance between transparency and anonymity.

This “incentivize users instead of extracting from users” logic really poses a challenge for traditional exchanges to think about.
