Republic Protocol Dark Pool Trade Fees

Fees allow those that use the system to pay those that offer the computational power needed to fulfill the needs of the traders. To use the platform, a trader pays in the REN tokens when they submit their order. If the order expires before matching, the fee is refunded. If the order is matched, any node that took part in matching the order is paid a share of the REN.
