# Growth Mode

Growth mode is designed to bootstrap novel HIP‑3 markets by dramatically reducing fees.

### What growth mode does

* ≥90% reduction in all‑in fees
* rebates and volume contributions are also ≥90% lower
* applies on top of other multipliers (aligned collateral, staking discounts)

### Conditions to enable growth mode

1. Deployer fee scale must be set between 0 and 1 (amount deployer keeps as a % of fees before other discounts).
2. Markets must be disjoint from existing validator‑operated perps to prevent parasitic volume.

Examples that are typically not eligible:

* crypto perps against any collateral
* perps on crypto indexes/ETFs/baskets
* perps on combinations including crypto assets
* wrappers primarily holding crypto assets
* duplicates of existing validator markets (e.g., gold if already tracked elsewhere)

Growth mode has a **30‑day cooldown per asset**.

### Fee ranges 

Under growth mode, baseline taker fees can be roughly **5–10× lower** than validator‑operated perps, depending on collateral alignment and volume tiers.

> Ultimately, eligibility disputes may be resolved by onchain validator vote.
