Title: Maker Taker on Polo
Post by: Methodise on March 10, 2016, 02:25:11 am

So Poloniex are doing maker-taker pricing. That seems to be the dominant paradigm. I don't believe Bitshares does that, and I realise the pricing is being reworked (fee-free) - but even still, shouldn't there be a maker-taker element?

If there already is such consideration in effect, then I do apologise.

Many crypto exchanges already offer some form of maker/taker.

Besides offering very low fees attractive to both parties, BitShares is currently discussing the best way to go about implementing some form of maker subsidy which polo/others don't offer. (Funded by BTS shareholders to incentivize some liquidity within a useful range, which is what NBT does too.) So I don't think we've lost our advantage and will still attract useful liquidity to the key SmartCoins in the near future.
