Trading Fees

Plans & Pricing covers what a subscription costs. This page covers what a trade costs. The short version: one fee, quoted before you commit, that already contains every cost of the trade. Nothing is added afterwards.

​

The rate

Your trading fee depends on your tier, with a minimum per trade: The minimum is $0.25 per trade. Whichever is larger applies - so a $500 trade on Basic costs $2.50 (the percentage), while a $10 trade costs $0.25 (the minimum, not $0.05). The minimum exists because small trades cost roughly the same to execute as large ones. Network fees don’t scale down.

​

One fee, everything included

This is the part worth understanding, because it’s unusual. Executing a trade has real costs: network gas, routing through liquidity, and sometimes moving your cash between chains. Most platforms quote a percentage and then add those costs on top, so the number you agreed to isn’t the number you pay. We do it the other way around. The rate above is the total. Our own fee absorbs the underlying costs so that the figure you’re quoted is the figure you’re charged: You never need to hold ETH, SOL or BNB to transact. Gas is sponsored, and its cost is already inside the fee you were shown.

​

When the fee drops to zero

Occasionally a trade’s real underlying cost is higher than our fee would be - a small trade on a congested network, or one that needs cash moved across chains. When that happens, our fee floors at zero and you pay only the actual cost. We don’t top it up to reach the tier rate, and we don’t charge a fee on top of a cost that already exceeds it. So the tier rate is a ceiling on what we take, not a floor. On expensive routes we take nothing.

​

When a trade is too expensive to be worth it

If executing a trade would cost a disproportionate share of the trade itself, you’re told the real number rather than quietly charged it. You can trade a larger amount, wait for cheaper network conditions, or proceed anyway - it’s your call, made with the figure in front of you.

​

Account rent, and why it isn’t ours

On Solana, holding a token for the first time requires opening a token account, which needs a small deposit (about 0.002 SOL) locked up by the network. It isn’t a fee - it’s a refundable deposit the blockchain holds. Here’s how we handle it:

1. We pay it for you when you buy a token you’ve never held.
2. We show it separately as a storage deposit, so it’s never disguised as our fee.
3. You get it back. When you sell out of the token, the deposit is released to your own wallet - not to us.

We never collect it. It isn’t revenue, it’s your money temporarily held by Solana, and it comes back to you rather than to a treasury.

​

Withdrawals

Withdrawing crypto costs a flat $0.50, regardless of amount or chain. No percentage, so a large withdrawal costs the same as a small one. Cashing out to local currency waives that fee - the conversion already carries the payment provider’s own charge, and we don’t stack ours on top. Depositing is always free.

​

Perpetual futures

Perps have their own costs, because they trade on Hyperliquid rather than on-chain:

• Withdrawing from perps costs a flat 1 USDC, charged by Hyperliquid.
• Depositing to perps is free, with a 10 USDC minimum.
• Trading fees are charged by the exchange, with a builder fee on top.

​

The referral discount

If you signed up through someone’s referral link, you get 10% off your trading fees, permanently. That’s the same fee your referrer earns a share of, which is why the discount can only touch our part of it. See the referral program for the other side.

​

Lowering what you pay

Trade sizing helps too: because of the $0.25 minimum, several small trades cost more in total than one larger trade of the same value.
