Polymarket responds to community concerns about high fees: the controversial parameter has been removed, but taker fees will still be charged across all categories.

Golden Finance reported that on April 1, the Polymarket team posted an announcement on Discord saying that regarding prior community concerns that certain category fees were too high, the team’s original intent was to fix the fee curve, but it mistakenly used the dollar taker成交量 (taker trade volume). Now it will be calculated based on the number of shares, which is the industry standard, and can eliminate the problem of fee imbalance.

The team said that in some markets (especially weather and economics markets), due to this change and the indices additionally added only to these two categories, the fee curve was severely distorted. When prices are lower (such as 0.1¢), the fees are abnormally high. This is the reason everyone is complaining online about “super high fees.” At present, the fee table has been revised, the index has been removed, and no markets have this issue anymore. “The fees in these markets are still the lowest and most cost-effective on the internet.”

At the same time, the team suggested that if users care about fees, they can place limit orders for free trading, and with the new update you can also get a 20–25% maker rebate.
