User Tiering

User tiering is a method of categorizing users based on criteria such as trading volume, account age, or account verification status to provide differentiated services and limits. By segmenting the user base, platforms can manage risk more effectively and provide preferential access to high-value or low-risk participants.

This approach often involves granting higher rate limits, lower fees, or priority access to new features for institutional or active traders. User tiering also allows platforms to tailor their compliance and security protocols to the specific needs of different segments.

It is a common strategy in both traditional and digital finance to incentivize loyalty and maintain a sustainable ecosystem. This segmentation helps balance the platform's load while rewarding those who contribute most to liquidity.
