The fee structure of $RIVER is truly unacceptable. It takes only 2 hours to pump up the price, but controlling the market requires 22 hours. What is behind this huge time gap? As long as the big players have sufficient funds, they can easily manipulate the market—either by pumping or shorting—retail investors have no idea what’s happening, and it’s impossible to predict when they will be forcibly liquidated.



Long traders endure the risk of being suppressed, while short traders are eaten away by fees all day long. Both sides are caught in an unfair game. Essentially, this phenomenon reflects an unfair rule design—allowing large capital players to repeatedly harvest profits, while small and medium participants can only passively take the hits.

Looking at how mainstream coins are traded: fee rates are close to 0.00%, with only 8 hours of clearing per day, short cycles, low costs, and market participants are well aware of this. This is the kind of healthy trading ecosystem that should exist.

Hope to see the fee mechanism of $RIVER adjusted as soon as possible, making trading rules more transparent and equitable. Only then can the trading environment in the crypto space truly stabilize.

From a technical architecture perspective, the design flaws of this fee mechanism are indeed worth in-depth investigation. The time asymmetry between 2 hours of price manipulation and 22 hours of control fundamentally violates the basic fairness principle of derivatives trading—research shows that such skewed mechanisms directly amplify market manipulation risks. Data indicates why the 8-hour clearing cycle of mainstream exchanges has become an industry standard: long-term practice has proven this parameter to be closest to Pareto optimal. The @RIVER@ set of rules reminds me of the design pitfalls of certain failed leverage platforms in 2022—the more complex the fee structure, the easier it is to become a tool for market makers to harvest profits. It is recommended that platform operators refer to relevant chapters in "Market Microstructure and Trading Cost Theory" to reassess the fairness of the fee curve.

This rule design is really outrageous; the dealer's happiness is built on retail investors' blood and tears.

This trading pair is too uncomfortable for me. The market manipulators' tactics are just blatant harvesting, and retail investors still have to obediently lie flat.
