Maker Fee

The fee charged when your order adds liquidity to the order book, meaning it doesn't fill immediately.

Definition

The fee charged when your order adds liquidity to the order book, meaning it doesn't fill immediately. Maker fees are typically lower than taker fees because you're providing liquidity that helps the exchange. Some exchanges even offer negative maker fees, paying you to place limit orders.
