Some decentralized exchanges adopting the HIP-3 standard are significantly reducing trading fees through growth models, with current fee discounts reaching up to 90%. Such promotional policies are mainly used to rapidly expand market size and attract liquidity. It is important to note that this low-fee environment is often a short-term market-driven strategy—once the ecosystem development enters a stable phase, the actual fee levels are expected to return to a much higher normal level. Investors and traders should evaluate the true costs based on the long-term fee structure when assessing the DEX economic model, rather than only considering the current discounted rates.

Ha, it's that old trick of burning money to chase growth again, and sooner or later, it'll have to be paid back.

90% discount sounds great, but then they cut it back. I've seen this trick many times. --- It's the same old story: after the subsidy, they turn hostile. In the long run, you still have to rely on your own calculations. --- Wake up, this is just burning money to grab users. Once costs stabilize, they will take off. --- So now those who jump in to grab cheap deals are just paving the way for future bagholders? --- It all depends on which DEX it is. Some really want to run this low-fee model long-term. --- I understand the reasoning, but it still comes down to who can hold out longer. --- Cost subsidies—early entrants earn early, latecomers hit the wall. It's straightforward and brutal.

A 90% fee waiver sounds great, but it's just a smoke screen. Once the stability period arrives, the rates jump right back... --- Another routine of "spend money first to acquire land, then slowly cut back." I've seen it too many times. --- That's right, it depends on the long-term fee structure. Calculating now is too superficial. --- Isn't this just the old trick of internet products? Use subsidies to attract users, then... you all know. --- That 90% figure looks impressive, but what's the reality? Just wait and see. --- Retail investors always end up losing out, never able to keep up with the pace. --- I'm a bit confused. Has no one looked at history? It repeats every time. --- Fees really need to be carefully calculated. Don't be fooled by surface numbers. --- This kind of promotional policy, participate early, or it's gone. --- Long-term fee structures are the real key. The current mentality of grabbing short-term gains will eventually cost you.

Ha, it's the same scheme to harvest the little guys. Now that it's free, it will definitely double later. --- 90% discount? Wake up, this is just fish farming. --- You'll have to pay back eventually, so enjoy it now. Anyway, you can't lose too much. --- DEX: Now free! After three months: Sorry, this is operational costs. --- Some people really think it can stay this cheap forever. Laugh out loud. --- Looking at the long-term fee structure, you can tell what kind of operation it is. --- Wait, is this move just to lock in liquidity? --- I just want to know when it will actually be cheap. Right now, it probably just a trap.

90% fee waiver? That's a classic "free lunch" trick. Once the stability period arrives, it will reverse immediately.
