What is the Innovation Zone?
The Innovation Zone is a dedicated section on Pionex for early-stage or lower-liquidity tokens. These tokens are listed separately from the standard spot market to ensure users are aware of the different trading conditions that apply.
Key differences from standard spot trading:
1. Transaction fee
Innovation Zone pairs are charged a transaction fee of 0.5%, regardless of your VIP tier. VIP discounts do not apply to Innovation Zone pairs.
2. No Take Profit / Stop Loss (TP/SL)
TP/SL orders are not available for Innovation Zone spot pairs. Because liquidity for these tokens is provided by third-party market makers, order book depth is typically very thin. A market-executed TP/SL order can result in severe slippage — meaning your actual fill price may be significantly worse than your trigger price. To protect users from this outcome, TP/SL is not supported on Innovation Zone pairs.
3. Low liquidity — understand the risks
Innovation Zone tokens may have wide bid-ask spreads and limited order book depth. Market orders in particular can fill at prices far from the displayed price. We recommend using limit orders when trading these pairs, and sizing positions carefully.
4. No trading bots
Trading bots are not supported on Innovation Zone pairs. Due to the higher volatility and risk of these tokens, bot orders may result in significant slippage. Pionex does not allow bots to be created on Innovation Zone pairs.
