Rate basis

unit column and coin column out of step in a fee table

Fee tables often pair a coin with a unit, and when the two drift apart the rate gets read against the wrong coin.

Short answer

Check that each coin and its unit sit in the same row or column pair, then compare against the unit label declared in the header.

Key points

  • Find where the unit is declared

    If the header has its own unit column, confirm row by row that this column lines up with the coin column; if not, the unit usually follows the coin and must be read as one string.

  • Coin and unit split across rows

    Some tables put the coin on one row and the unit on the next, so pair vertically rather than horizontally; a wrong pairing attaches the rate to another coin.

  • Same coin listed twice

    When one coin appears under two units, compare the full row labels and see whether the only difference is the unit segment, not just the coin name.

  • Walk the platform page side by side

    Copy the coin options from the exchange fee page dropdown and compare them character by character with the row labels; a different unit spelling means a different tier.

Common questions

The row label names a coin but no unit, so which tier is it?

Look for a separate unit column in the header, or check whether the neighbouring row supplies the unit; if neither does, confirm against the coin options on the platform page.

Can a unit spelled differently from the platform page still match?

Not directly. Copy both spellings and compare character by character; treat a different spelling as a different tier and confirm on the platform page.
