5. Trade Surplus and Order Flow Auctions (OFAs)

In addition to the above fees, Matcha may earn revenue through Trade Surplus capture and Order Flow Auctions (OFAs).


Trade Surplus

When you make a trade on Matcha, you are always guaranteed to receive at least the quoted amount shown in your trade confirmation.

If your trade executes at a better price than what was quoted (for example, if market prices improve during execution), this results in a trade surplus.

A portion of that surplus may be captured by Matcha, but you will never receive less than your quoted amount**.

Order Flow Auctions (OFAs)

Some trades on Matcha utilize Order Flow Auctions, a process where professional market makers compete to provide the best possible execution for your trade.

Through this mechanism, Matcha may earn rebates on certain token pairs based on the winning auction bids. These rebates help fund ongoing protocol operations and improvements, while ensuring that users consistently receive the best available price at or better than their displayed quote.

* Network (Gas) fees vary depending on the blockchain being used (e.g., Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain). The gas cost is displayed at the bottom of the Matcha trading widget.


** Quoted Amounts - Depending on your slippage settings, you might receive less than what was quoted if you allow for a higher slippage tolerance in the app.
