Maker

• A maker is someone who addsliquidity to the market.

• This happens when you place an order that doesn’t get filled immediately, but instead stays in the order book.

• Example: You set a limit order to buy Bitcoin at $30,000 while the market price is $30,200. Your order waits until a seller agrees.

👉 By adding orders to the book, you are “making” the market.

👉 Makers usually pay lower fees because they help keep the exchange liquid.

Taker

• A taker is someone who takes liquidity from the market.

• This happens when you place an order that matches instantly with an existing order.

• Example: You place a market order to buy Bitcoin right away at $30,200. It matches an existing sell order immediately.

👉 By matching with an existing order, you are “taking” liquidity.

👉 Takers usually pay higher fees because they use the liquidity that makers provide.
