# Fees & Tiers

> 1.00% per trade at entry tier, falling to 0.70% with volume. Minimum $0.10. No cashback games, no points theater.

The full price list. No cashback games, no points theater, no "up to" asterisks — other terminals play rebate bingo against a 1% base; we just charge less as you trade more.

## Trading fees

Charged per executed trade, as a % of trade value. Your rate depends on your tier — set by your 30-day trading volume:

| Tier        | Trading fee | 30d volume      |
| ----------- | ----------- | --------------- |
| Believer 🌱 | **1.00%**   | \< \$10k        |
| Survivor 🛡 | **0.95%**   | \$10k – \$25k   |
| Ape 🦍      | **0.90%**   | \$25k – \$50k   |
| Alpha 🦈    | **0.85%**   | \$50k – \$100k  |
| Legend ⭐    | **0.80%**   | \$100k – \$200k |
| Apex ⚡      | **0.75%**   | \$200k – \$500k |
| GOAT 🐐     | **0.70%**   | > \$500k        |

**Minimum fee: \$0.10 per trade.**

### Worked examples

* \$1,000 buy at Believer → fee = \$1,000 × 1.00% = **\$10.00**
* \$1,000 buy at GOAT → fee = \$1,000 × 0.70% = **\$7.00**
* \$5 buy at any tier → 1.00% = \$0.05 → minimum applies → **\$0.10**

The minimum only bites on dust: at the 1.00% entry tier it kicks in below \~\$10 of trade value, where a \$5 trade pays 2% effective. Anything bigger just pays its tier rate.

## How tiers work

* **Volume window:** rolling 30 days, all trades across all your wallets and chains, measured in USD.
* **Updates automatically, any time:** cross a threshold and the new rate applies to your next trade — no claiming, no waiting for a monthly reset. Trade \$25k on day one and you're at Ape (0.90%) on day one.
* **Both directions:** the window rolls, so a quiet month moves you down the same way an active one moves you up. The tier reflects who you are *now*, not your best month ever.
* **Where to check:** your current tier, rate, and progress to the next tier are shown in your account panel. {/* TODO(team): confirm UI location */}

For an active trench trader doing \~\$3–4k/day, Alpha (0.85%) is the natural resting tier — you hit it by doing what you already do. At GOAT, the 0.30% spread versus Believer is \$1,500 saved per \$500k traded.

## New-user boost

Joined via a referral link? You get the **Ape tier (0.90%) as your floor for the first 30 days** — and if your volume crosses a higher tier's threshold, you upgrade past it immediately. Without a referral link you start at Believer (1.00%) and climb by volume from trade one. Details: [Referral Program](/fees-rewards/referral-program).

## Cross-chain bridge

Moving USDC between your Solana and EVM balances via the built-in bridge: **0.50% of the amount, minimum \$0.50.**

* \$500 bridged → **\$2.50**
* \$60 bridged → 0.50% = \$0.30 → **\$0.50**

Charged only when you bridge — trades, transfers, and withdrawals are same-chain and never pay it. See [USDC Balance & Bridge](/portfolio/usdc-balance).

## Network fees

Gas and priority fees go to the chain, not to Trady. They're shown in every trade quote before you confirm, and you control the priority component in [Transaction Settings](/trading/transaction-settings).

## What Trady does NOT charge

* ❌ Deposit fees
* ❌ Withdrawal fees (network fee only) {/* TODO(team): confirm */}
* ❌ Fees on transfers between your own wallets (Consolidate/Distribute — network fees only) {/* TODO(team): confirm */}
* ❌ Subscription or platform fees
* ❌ Hidden spread on quotes

## Mini-FAQ

**Is the fee charged on failed transactions?**
No. No execution, no fee. (Network fees on reverted transactions are chain-dependent and minimal.)

**Both sides?**
The fee applies per trade — a buy and its later sell are two trades. All volume counts toward your tier, so active trading lowers the rate it's charged at.

**Does referral volume count toward my own tier?**
Your *own trading volume* sets your tier. Your referrals' volume earns you [referral rewards](/fees-rewards/referral-program) — separate track. {/* TODO(team): confirm referral volume does NOT affect tier */}

**Do bridge transfers count as volume?**
Trading volume = executed trades. Bridging, transfers, deposits, and withdrawals don't count. {/* TODO(team): confirm */}

**Can a tier be granted manually (market makers, partners)?**
