Gate News Update: April 1, the Polymarket team is expected to post an announcement on Discord, addressing the community’s earlier concerns that some category fees were too high. The team admitted that, during adjustments to optimize the fee curve, they mistakenly used the taker traded volume denominated in dollars for the calculation. The method has now been changed to use “share quantity.” This approach is an industry-standard practice and can effectively eliminate fee imbalances.
The team said that, in weather and economic markets, the combination of the above calculation error and an additional introduced index caused the fee curve to become severely distorted. In particular, abnormal high fees appeared in low-price ranges (such as 0.1 cent), which is also the main reason behind the recent social media controversy over “super high fees.” The platform has now revised the fee schedule and removed the related index, and the fee structure for all markets has returned to normal.
In addition, the team suggested that fee-sensitive users can achieve zero-fee trades by placing limit orders. With the latest update now live, users can also receive a maker rebate incentive of 20% to 25%.

Premier League Tottenham vs Brighton is a crucial matchup, with Polymarket forecasting a 50% chance that Tottenham will be relegated
Tottenham Hotspur this season has surged from Europa League champions all the way to the relegation zone, facing a relegation battle. In the 14 matches without a win, the team has been hit by a series of injuries and a change in head coach, and an ESPN report says that poor passing ability is a key factor. Sunday’s match against Brighton will be a do-or-die game for survival; if they lose, it will seriously affect morale and the standings. Successful survival requires three major conditions, and for a former “pyramid” club, relegation will inevitably cause a major loss.
