The fee, exactly
The platform fee is 0.70% of the amount you are swapping from, not of the amount you receive, and not of your wallet balance. It is identical on every supported network — the same figure on Ethereum as on Solana — and it is shown before you confirm, alongside the rate and the selected network.
It is one of three costs in a swap and the only one we receive. Network gas goes to the chain, paid in that chain native token, and we never deduct it. The pool fee is inside the price the aggregator quotes and goes to liquidity providers. Three recipients, and we are one of them.
What we do not do
We do not widen the quoted spread. The rate you see is what the aggregator returned, with our fee shown separately rather than hidden inside a worse price — which is the standard way a fee gets concealed and the reason "zero fee" claims are so often untrue.
We do not sell user data, we do not run ads, and there is no subscription tier. We take no payment for routing: the route shown is the best among the venues queried at that moment, and no venue can buy its way to the top of that list.
Why disclose the number at all
Because a fee you can see is a fee you can compare, and a product confident in its pricing has no reason to hide it. If 0.70% is too much for your trade size, that is a legitimate conclusion and you should act on it — a large order on a deep pair may well be cheaper somewhere else, and we would rather you know that than find out later.
Disclosure also puts a limit on us. A number printed on screen before every signature is a number we cannot quietly change, and that constraint is the point of showing it rather than publishing it in a policy page nobody opens.
What the fee does not buy
It does not buy insurance, a guarantee of execution, or any claim against us if a trade goes badly. It does not make us a counterparty to the swap. It does not give us the ability to reverse, freeze or recover anything, because none of those are possible for a service that never holds your assets.
It also does not buy price improvement we cannot deliver. Routing through an aggregator reduces exposure to sandwich attacks; it does not make a public mempool transaction immune to them, and we will not claim otherwise to justify the charge.
