Frequently asked questions
The trade does not need to involve USD.
KFEE essentially allows you to trade fee-free up to a certain volume.
For example, a trade worth 3,846 USD executed with a 0.26% fee would cost 10 USD. Instead of paying that 10 USD from your USD balance, 1,000 KFEE would be deducted from your KFEE balance.
