description: BitMart does not charge for API access itself; commercial pricing is expressed as
  spot and futures trading commissions through a VIP tier system based on BMX token holdings and
  30-day cumulative trading volume. API connectivity, market data, and WebSocket streams are
  provided at no cost; revenue is captured per-trade. New API users receive a 30-day API VIP3
  trial with 0% spot trading fees. The BMX token provides a 25% fee discount when used for fee
  payment, though this discount does not apply during API program enrollment.

      and taker fees as low as 0.045% at the highest tier. A 25% BMX payment discount further reduces
      fees but is not combinable with API VIP program enrollment.
