Every copied trade creates two economic events: the follower captures (or gives back) PnL, and the mirror trader earns a fee on the follower’s volume. The mirror trader fee goes 100% to the mirror trader — 0x1 takes no share of it. There is nothing stacked on top of the follower’s bill. Numbers are transparent, on-chain where possible, and settled on every fill.
Two sides, one ledger
Follower view
Mirror Trader view
What you pay. One fee — the mirror trader fee set by the mirror trader you follow, charged as a percentage of the notional volume you generate when mirroring them. That fee is capped at 0.1% (10 bps) by the platform, and nothing else is stacked on top of it.What you earn. Proportional PnL from the positions your mirror takes on your behalf, minus the mirror trader fee above. You see realized PnL the moment the leader closes, and unrealized PnL marks to Aster’s live prices.You can cap allocations per mirror trader, cap leverage, and set a slippage tolerance. The engine respects those caps on every order, even mid-position.
What you charge. A fee on follower volume that mirrors you, configurable anywhere from 0% up to 0.1% (10 bps). You set it at registration and can adjust it later.What you keep. You keep 100% of every fee you charge. 0x1 takes no share of the mirror trader fee.How it settles. Fees accrue per fill. Your dashboard shows realized fees as they land, and you can withdraw at any point.Higher fees do not automatically mean higher revenue. The leaderboard surfaces mirror traders by net returns after fees, so followers prefer mirror traders whose fee is commensurate with their skill.
The fee flow, step by step
Follower volume is generated
A leader places an order. The engine mirrors it onto each follower that follows them, generating follower volume on Aster.
Mirror trader fee is charged
The mirror-trader-set fee — up to 0.1% of the follower’s notional — is charged on every fill. This is the only fee the follower sees.
Full fee credited to the mirror trader
The entire fee accrues to the mirror trader’s fee balance. 0x1 takes no distribution from this amount.
Follower PnL settles to the follower's balance
After the mirror trader fee, remaining PnL lands in the follower’s balance on Aster, available for withdrawal.
Followers pay the mirror trader fee on volume, not on profit. A follower that mirrors a leader who loses money still pays the fee on the volume traded — this is what sustains a fair market for mirror traders.
Additional reward layers
TBD — under redesign. The token-based reward layer (staking tiers, ve cashback, platform revenue distribution, etc.) is currently under review. Full details will be published here and on the Token Economy page once finalized. 0x1’s revenue model
0x1 does not take a share of mirror trader fees. Instead, platform revenue comes from separate value-added services such as wallet tracking. Details on the full model will be shared separately once ready.
