Trading Fees

Polysynth uses a 30-day tiered convergent-divergent volume-weighted fees model for determining the trading fees. There are two types of orders on Polysynth – Convergent and Divergent orders.
Convergent orders are orders which earn funding payments – these orders converge mark price to index price 
Divergent orders are orders which pay funding payments  – these orders diverge mark price from index price

FAQs
How are divergent and convergent fees calculated?
The divergent and convergent fees are based upon the total USD trading volume over the trailing 30-day period across all perpetual markets.
How do I know my order is a convergent order?
If you are going long on a perpetual contract and its mark price is less than the index price, your order is a convergent order and will earn funding payment. Similarly, if you go short on a perpetual contract whose mark price is greater than the index price, your order is a convergent order and will earn a funding payment.
