# 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.

## Rank-Based Fee Schedule

| Rank            | Swap Fee |
| --------------- | -------- |
| Recruit (1–4)   | 0.15%    |
| Warrior (1–4)   | 0.14%    |
| Gladiator (1–4) | 0.13%    |
| Champion (1–4)  | 0.12%    |
| Warlord (1–4)   | 0.11%    |
| Immortal (1–4)  | 0.10%    |

Your rank applies automatically — there's nothing to opt into, no tokens to hold, no cashback theatre. See [Rank System](/onchain-docs/colosseum/ranks.md) for how to rank up.

> **Success:** What you see is what you pay. Your rank reduces it.

## 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.

| Platform fee    | 0.15% – 0.10% based on rank | onchain.cc                  |
