🥇Fees on Tradersdex
This page breaks down the fee categories for swaps, launchpad activities, and routing scenarios, so you know exactly what you're paying and where those fees go.
1. Swap Fees (Tradersdex Native Pools)
When you execute a swap on a liquidity pool hosted directly on Tradersdex, three types of fees apply:
1.1 Liquidity Provider Fee (lpFeeBps)
Rate: 15 basis points (0.15%)
Recipient: Liquidity providers (LPs) who have deposited tokens into the pool.
1.2 Protocol Fee (protocolFeeBps)
Rate: 60 basis points (0.60%)
Recipient: Tradersdex protocol treasury.
1.3 Creator Fee (creatorFeeBps)
Rate: 25 basis points (0.25%)
Recipient: The original creator or deployer of the token being traded.
Total Swap Fee (Tradersdex Pools)
Combined Rate: 100 basis points (1.00%)
Breakdown:
LP Fee: 0.15%
Protocol Fee: 0.60%
Creator Fee: 0.25%
Example: If you swap 100 SOL for USDC in a Tradersdex-native pool, you'll pay 1 SOL in total fees, distributed as follows:
0.15 SOL → Liquidity providers
0.60 SOL → Tradersdex protocol
0.25 SOL → Token creator
2. Launchpad Fees
When creators launch a new token via the Tradersdex Launchpad, a different fee structure applies to the initial liquidity setup and early trades:
2.1 Protocol Fee (protocolFeeBps)
Rate: 75 basis points (0.75%)
Recipient: Tradersdex protocol treasury.
2.2 Creator Fee (creatorFeeBps)
Rate: 25 basis points (0.25%)
Recipient: Token creator or project team.
Total Launchpad Fee
Combined Rate: 100 basis points (1.00%)
Breakdown:
Protocol Fee: 0.75%
Creator Fee: 0.25%
3. Swap Router Fees
Tradersdex features an intelligent swap router that automatically finds the best execution path for your trade. Depending on whether the router uses Tradersdex-native pools or external liquidity sources, different fees may apply:
3.1 Tradersdex Router Fee (Native Pools)
Rate: 0%
When Applied: When your swap is executed entirely through Tradersdex-hosted liquidity pools.
3.2 External Router Fee (Non-Tradersdex Pools)
Rate: 1.00% (100 basis points)
When Applied: When the router sources liquidity from external protocols (e.g., Raydium, Orca, Jupiter) because those pools offer better pricing or deeper liquidity than Tradersdex-native pools.
Recipient: Tradersdex protocol treasury.
4. Additional Fees & Costs
4.1 Network Fees (Gas)
Rate: Variable
Recipient: Solana validators (on-chain).
Purpose: All blockchain transactions require a small gas fee to compensate validators for processing and confirming transactions. This fee is separate from Tradersdex platform fees and is determined by network congestion.
Typical Range: 0.000005–0.01 SOL per transaction (usually negligible compared to swap fees).
Control: You can adjust your priority fee in the Swap Settings (⚙️ icon) to expedite transaction confirmation during periods of high congestion.
4.2 Priority Fee (Optional)
Rate: User-configurable
Recipient: Solana validators.
Purpose: A "tip" paid to validators to prioritize your transaction over others in the mempool. Higher priority fees can result in faster confirmation times.
When to Use: Set a higher priority fee if you're trading during a volatile market period or need immediate execution (e.g., arbitrage, liquidation).
4.3 Bribery Fee (MEV Protection)
Rate: User-configurable
Recipient: Private relay validators or Tradersdex MEV protection partners.
Purpose: When MEV Protection is enabled, the bribery fee ensures your transaction is included in a private bundle, protecting you from front-running and sandwich attacks.
When to Use: Enable MEV Protection for large swaps or trades in low-liquidity pools where slippage and MEV exploitation are more likely.
