Coinbase One members who expect zero-fee trading benefits will still be charged the DEX service fee, meaning membership does not eliminate this cost.
Interpretive note: The excerpt uses 'This service fee' as a reference, which implies a previously defined DEX service fee. The canonical claim preserves that reference without defining the fee amount, which is not stated in this excerpt.
The updated fee schedule removes the pre-published 1% fee for instant unstaking and instead discloses the fee only at the moment a user requests to unstake. This means users can no longer review the exact cost before initiating a transaction through the published schedule. The revision also explicitly includes converting a pending standard unstake to an instant unstake as a fee-triggering action. No fee continues to apply if a user waits for the full unbonding period.
