# Abstract
|
|
|
|
Currently the BitShares network does not charge a percentage based market fee on
|
|
trades of the core asset (BTS) or assets created by the committee account
|
|
(BitAssets like USD, CNY, etc). Instead BitShares has a fixed price for filled
|
|
orders defined by the order creation fee. See [BSIP-0002](bsip-0002.md) for more
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
This proposal is to implement a hard-fork that would grant committee members the
|
|
option to charge market fees for their assets. Any market fees earned would be
|
|
converted to BTS via the fee pool and then distributed to the referral program
|
|
like any other fees.
|
|
|
|
# Motivation
|
|
|
|
Market pegged assets trade at 0% market fees by default. The commitee members
|
|
could decide to set a percentage as fee already, but the fees would end up in
|
|
the committee's account.
|
|
|
|
By implementing this proposals, we let shareholders decide whether or not to
|
|
redirect these profits to the referral program.
|
|
|
|
# Discussion
|
|
|
|
When enabling market fees for an asset, trading becomes slightly more expensive
|
|
for traders and would discourage trades.
|
|
On the other hand, having more funds to distribute for marketing in the form of
|
|
referral rewards could improve exposure and incentivise to bring in new
|
|
customers for our products and the trading platform which may result in
|
|
increased profits from fees in general.
