Trading Fees (Buying and Selling)
Every trade on Cascade incurs a fee, which helps maintain the platform’s functionality and user experience. These fees are categorized as follows:
1. User-covered network fees: Users are responsible for covering gas and priority fees required by the blockchain. These fees ensure that your transaction is processed promptly by the network. On blockchains like Solana, there may be an additional one-time fee when interacting with tokens for the first time.
2. Platform fees: Cascade applies a small fee to each trade to support operational costs, platform maintenance, and growth initiatives.
Fee Breakdown
Fees are determined based on the size of your transaction, with the following tiers:
Trade Amount
| Fee Applied
|
$1–$100
| 2.5%
|
Over $100
| 1% |
Note: To manage price fluctuations, a default slippage tolerance of up to 5% is applied to trades. For example, if you place an order for $100, the final amount you receive might vary slightly within the range of $95–$105. You can adjust this tolerance manually by accessing the slippage settings in the trade options.
Transfers and Token Sends
When sending tokens, Cascade does not charge any additional administrative fees. However, please keep in mind:
• Network fees: Gas and priority fees required for token transfers are paid directly by the user. These fees ensure timely transaction confirmation.
• One-time blockchain fees: Some blockchains, such as Solana, may charge a one-time fee for setting up an account to hold a specific token.
