Definition
The distinction between an order that waits in the order book and an order that executes against liquidity already available in it.
What you need to know
On Coinbase Advanced, the fee depends on whether the order adds or takes liquidity. A limit order can also be charged as a taker when it executes immediately; a portion that remains in the order book and executes later may be charged as a maker. Do not infer another exchange’s pricing from this.
