<p>To our group, seems that trading fee discounts are not what is bringing new users to Bisq; the actions of the Big-brothers are...<br>
Therefore, deep discounts seem counterproductive now...</p>
<p>Seems useful to look at competition's fees:<br>
<a href="https://localbitcoins.com/fees" rel="nofollow">LBC</a><br>
<a href="https://hodlhodl.com/pages/faq" rel="nofollow">HoblHobl</a></p>
<p>LBC is now a big-brother exchange, and was never decentralized in any meaningful way.<br>
(Effectively seems 0.5% [1% / 2])</p>
<p>HoblBobl is decentralized only in name, but since it's non-custodial fiat shop, it's probably closest Bisq competitor now. 0.5-0.6%</p>
<p>As far as we know, Bisq is still by far the most decentralized Bitcoin-fiat exchange.<br>
So, its fees for fiat trades should be at least close to its closest competitor, which is HH.</p>
<p>The market leader in altcoin trading is<br>
<a href="https://www.binance.com/en/fee/schedule" rel="nofollow">Binance</a><br>
In their own coin, their highest fee rate is 0.075%.<br>
Bisq and Binance are not really direct competitors, but Bisq should try to match BNB's fees rate on BSQ, if it can be done profitably.</p>
<p>If it's not too difficult technically, perhaps given the above, it does makes sense to offer two-tier fee rates - 1 for BTC-fiat trades, another for BTC<>Alts trades.</p>
<p>Perhaps something like this:<br>
BSQ discount: 25%<br>
Altcoin trades Maker:Taker fee ratio: 1:2<br>
Altcoin trades fee in BSQ: 0.075% (Maker) : 0.15% (Taker)<br>
Altcoin trades fee in BTC: 0.1% (Maker) : 0.2% (Taker)</p>
<p>Fiat trades Maker:Taker fee ratio: 1:2<br>
BSQ discount 20%<br>
Fiat trades fee in BSQ: 0.2% (Maker) : 0.4% (Taker)<br>
Fiat trades fee in BTC: 0.25% (Maker) : 0.5% (Taker)</p>
<p>May be sensible to ramp it up to that level in quarterly intervals?</p>
