Every figure here is the venue's own published wording, re-fetched and matched before it shipped, with the day it was read beside it. Fees are shown at the ENTRY TIER, the band a new account trades in before any volume discount. Some venues print a maker and taker split and others a single headline trading fee, so each is shown as printed and no blended effective rate is computed. Five venues publish no readable rate and are listed with that fact and the reason.

Source: Crypto exchange entry-tier fees verified against each venue's own published fee page on 2026-09-21 by infra/ingest/hubs/cryptoexchangecomparehq.com/ingest_vendors.py: every quoted figure re-fetched and matched verbatim (hash-pinned). 9 of 14 venues print an entry-tier trading fee as text; 5 (kraken, coinbase, bybit, mexc, kucoin) render it from JavaScript or would not serve it, and are listed with that reason rather than an estimate.

All 9 source pages; each is the venue's own published fee page, quoted verbatim with retrieval date

kraken.com Kraken fee page (read, no rate served) (venue's own page, fetched and recorded as not-retrieved with the reason)
coinbase.com Coinbase Advanced fee page (read, no rate served) (venue's own page, fetched and recorded as not-retrieved with the reason)
bybit.com Bybit fee page (read, no rate served) (venue's own page, fetched and recorded as not-retrieved with the reason)
mexc.com MEXC fee page (read, no rate served) (venue's own page, fetched and recorded as not-retrieved with the reason)
kucoin.com KuCoin fee page (read, no rate served) (venue's own page, fetched and recorded as not-retrieved with the reason)

Methodology: Every rendered fee is a rate the venue prints on its OWN page, re-fetched through the estate's one fetch door and matched VERBATIM - the quote and the day it was read travel with the cell - then hash-pinned. Fees are shown at the ENTRY TIER, the band a new account trades in before any volume discount, because that is the number the reader will actually pay. Some venues print a maker/taker split and others a single headline trading fee; each is shown as printed and no blended effective rate is computed, because a derived number rendered as though a venue published it is the thing this index exists to replace. A venue whose page could not be read is listed WITH that fact and the reason, never with an estimate and never with a blank.
