ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This greater-of methodology ensures that Coinbase collects the maximum of two fee calculations for each transaction, which establishes the operative pricing structure for all transactions on the platform. The mechanism creates a floor below which fees will not fall and prevents scenarios where either fee type alone would result in lower charges.
