description: MEXC does not charge for API access itself; commercial pricing is expressed as
  spot and futures trading commissions. Spot trading carries 0% maker and 0.05% taker fees for
  standard accounts. API Futures trading (launched March 31, 2026) operates under a separate,
  higher fee schedule that overrides web and app rates — currently 0.06% maker and 0.08% taker
  as of June 1, 2026. A Market Maker Program offers tiered rebates and enhanced API rate limits
  for qualifying liquidity providers. An optional MX token discount grants fee reductions.
  Institutional and Broker partnerships are available by application.
