Polymarket volume and fees, by category
Where the money is actually trading on Polymarket right now, across every category, and the taker fee and maker rebate that applies to each.

Count is active markets in each category. Taker fees and maker rebates are estimated on the 24h volume at a 50¢ average price, so they move with both volume and price; makers pay no fee and instead earn the rebate, their share of the taker fees. The exact per-trade maths is in the calculator.
