How DEX fees work: instead of a platform fee, each swap pays the fee of the pool it routes through (listed above where published). The interface itself may add its own fee.
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.
