Platform charge on $1,000 of traded value: $8

A worked guide to Gate's platform charge and the separate Polymarket protocol fee, including maker orders, fixed spending and a round-trip example. Gate's Event Market fee page, checked 9 October 2026, lists a 0.8% platform charge for both maker and taker trades. Applied to $1,000 of traded value, that is $8 before any protocol fee. Polymarket's own fee documentation says makers pay no protocol fee, while taker fees depend on the market. A maker exemption at the protocol level therefore does not remove a separate platform charge.

- Two fee components: Platform + protocol
- Worked taker example: $28

population: Three assumed prices for an equal trade value.
