Why do we have a spread vs charge a fee?
Fold aims to get you the most bitcoin for your buck. Fold works with liquidity providers who bake in a spread for providing their service and to keep them safe against volatility. As Fold’s volumes increase, the spreads our liquidity providers charge decrease.
This means that over time, as we grow and you stack, our spreads will decrease and we can pass the savings directly on to you.
