Fees

0.15% → 0.10% — the lowest platform fee in DeFi

onchain.cc charges 0.15% on every trade at the Recruit rank — the lowest base fee in DeFi. As you climb Colosseum ranks, your fee drops by 0.01 percentage points per rank, down to 0.10% at Immortal. No tokens to hold, no cashback theatre, no opt-in. What you see is what you pay, and your rank determines what you see.

Platform Fee Comparison

Platform	Fee
onchain.cc	0.15% - 0.10% (at top rank)
Axiom	~1% - 0.75% (at top rank)
Trojan	1% - 0.65% (at top rank)
GMGN	1%

Most DEX terminals charge around 0.75%. That's 5x more than onchain.cc per trade. On a $100,000 swap, the difference is $750 versus $150. On active trading, that gap compounds fast.

Network Fees (Gas)

In addition to the platform fee, every on-chain transaction requires a small gas fee paid to the network you're trading on. This is separate from onchain.cc's fee and is not controlled by or paid to onchain.cc.

Key points about gas fees:

• Paid in the chain's native token (SOL on Solana, ETH on Ethereum, etc.), deducted directly from your wallet
• Cost varies by chain — typically fractions of a cent on Solana, more on Ethereum mainnet, very low on most L2s
• Required for every transaction — buys, sells, withdrawals and failed transactions
• Not included in the 0.15% platform fee

Info: Always keep a small balance of the native token on whichever chain you're trading on. If your native-token balance reaches zero, you won't be able to submit transactions — including sells — on that chain.

Third-Party Fees

In addition to onchain.cc's platform fee, certain trades may route through third-party services that charge their own fees. These are separate from onchain.cc's 0.15%–0.10% platform fee and are not controlled by or paid to onchain.cc. Key points about third-party fees:

• Applies to cross-chain aggregators and bridges (e.g. swaps routed EVM <> Solana)
• Also applies to meme coin launchpads and some liquidity pools
• Fee amount varies by provider and is set by that provider, not onchain.cc
• Charged in addition to, not instead of, the onchain.cc platform fee

Info: Same-chain Solana → Solana swaps through onchain.cc's core routing are not affected by third-party fees.
