|---|---|---|
| Founded | 2014 | 2017 |

| Maker fee | 0% on Coincheck Exchange order-book pairs for major coins, but most retail volume flows through the separate simple buy/sell service, which is priced into a spread rather than a visible fee: verify the current spread and order-book coverage before trading | Verify current tier: OKX uses a volume-based maker/taker schedule |
| Taker fee | Same structure as maker: 0% on major order-book pairs, small fees (roughly 0.05% to 0.1%) on thinner order-book pairs; verify current rates, since the simple buy/sell spread is the real cost for most users | Verify current tier: OKX uses a volume-based maker/taker schedule |
