  LBank does not charge for API access itself; all REST and WebSocket endpoints are available
  to authenticated users at no direct cost. Revenue is captured through per-trade maker/taker
  fees applied to executed spot orders. The default trading fee is 0.10% for both maker and
  taker sides. VIP tiers with reduced fees are available for high-volume traders based on
  30-day trading volume. API rate limits apply uniformly: 500 requests per 10 seconds for
  order creation and cancellation, and 200 requests per 10 seconds for all other endpoints.
