Perps: taker 0.045%, maker 0.015% — Tier 0 base rates. Maker rebates of -0.001% to -0.003% apply above 0.5% / 1.5% / 3.0% share of 14d weighted maker volume. HIP-3 (builder-deployed) perps can carry an extra deployer fee share of 0-300%; growth-mode HIP-3 markets have reduced protocol fees.
Platform fees only. On-chain network/priority fees, pool (LP) fees and price impact are extra and vary by trade.
Fees DexSheet doesn't count
- Network fees: Solana base + priority fees, or gas on EVM chains. Usually cents on Solana, but priority tips during busy launches can be more.
- Pool (LP) fees: the DEX pool the trade routes through takes its own cut (for example Pump.fun's bonding curve charges 1.25%).
- Price impact and slippage: on thin memecoin pools this is often bigger than every fee combined.
