Solana futures fees, spread and slippage

Because SOL trades near $150 rather than $60,000, a single tick is a larger fraction of the price — so its spread reads higher in basis points than BTC even in a tight, well-arbitraged market. That is correct, not a quirk. FeeFloor measures the fee, half-spread and live slippage for a $100,000 SOL futures order and ranks the venues by all-in cost.

Common questions

What is the cheapest crypto exchange?

It changes by the minute and by trade size, which is why this page is a live ranking instead of an article. The table above measures the full cost of a market order — fee, spread and slippage — on every venue we track and sorts by the total. The venue in row one is the cheapest right now for the size you selected.

Why did my trade cost more than the advertised fee?

Because the advertised fee is only one of three costs. You also pay the spread (the gap between buy and sell prices) the instant a market order fills, and slippage (your order pushing through the order book) that grows with trade size. Neither appears on a fee page, and on thin venues they can dwarf the fee itself.

Are zero-fee exchanges really free?

No. Venues that advertise 0% trading fees earn from the spread instead, and some quote noticeably wider prices than fee-charging competitors. A 0-fee venue with a wide spread routinely costs more all-in than a venue charging 2 bps over a tight book — the table above catches exactly that.

Does trade size change which exchange is cheapest?

Dramatically. Fees are flat percentages, but order-book depth is not: a venue that wins at $1,000 can be mid-table at $1,000,000 because your order walks deeper into its book. Use the trade-size control to match your actual order size — the ranking often reshuffles.

What is a basis point (bps)?

One hundredth of a percent: 1 bps = 0.01%. Costs are quoted in basis points of your trade size, so a 4 bps all-in cost on a $100,000 order is $40. The dollar column does this conversion for you.

Do the referral discounts actually work?

Where a discount is shown, our signup link carries a working code and the discount applies to the fee component only — spread and slippage are paid to the market, and no code discounts those. Toggle the referral filter off to see undiscounted list prices. We never show a discount for a link that does not deliver one.

The full measurement method — including what we deliberately do not measure — is on the methodology page.
