# Fees

We keep fees simple, transparent and designed to reward active users – especially those who hold <mark style="color:$primary;">**$TRADE**</mark>.

Two things shape your fees and rewards on tradedotfun:

* <mark style="color:$primary;">**$TRADE**</mark>**&#x20;Unlocks** — the more $TRADE you hold, the bigger your fee discount and point multiplier.
* **Tier Unlocks** — the more you trade, the higher your tier and the more cashback you get.

They work independently, so your tier isn't tied to your <mark style="color:$primary;">**$TRADE**</mark> balance.

***

### Base fees

**Memecoin trading**

* Base fee: **1%** per trade (industry standard).
* Applies to all buys and sells through on-chain memecoin pairs.

**Perps & Spot**

* Base fee: **0.01%** per trade.
* Applies to all trades executed via Hyperliquid Hypercore.

Every trade is eligible for both a fee discount (from <mark style="color:$primary;">**$TRADE**</mark> held) and cashback (from your tier).

#### Fee discount — from holding <mark style="color:$primary;">$TRADE</mark>

| $TRADE Held | Fee Discount |
| ----------- | ------------ |
| Free        | -            |
| 10,000      | 5%           |
| 50,000      | 15%          |
| 100,000     | 25%          |
| 250,000     | 35%          |

The discount applies to the base fee before cashback is calculated.

#### Cashback — from your tier

| Tier    | Cashback |
| ------- | -------- |
| Starter | 15%      |
| Bronze  | 20%      |
| Silver  | 25%      |
| Gold    | 30%      |
| Diamond | 35%      |

Tiers are earned by trading. See the [Rewards page](/getting-started/rewards/rewards-page.md).

> Example: A user holding **100,000 $TRADE** at **Gold tier** makes a **$1,000 memecoin trade**.
>
> 1. Base fee: 1% → **$10.00**
> 2. Fee discount from $TRADE (25%): $10.00 − $2.50 → **$7.50 paid**
> 3. Cashback from Gold tier (30% of $7.50): **$2.25 returned**
> 4. Net effective fee: **$5.25** (≈0.53%)

**The more&#x20;**<mark style="color:$primary;">**$TRADE**</mark>**&#x20;you hold and the more you trade, the less you pay —  and the more you earn back.**

Fees fuel daily buybacks, point rewards and the continued growth of the **trade**<mark style="color:$primary;">**dot**</mark>**fun** platform.
