Zephyr Trade charges one fee and nothing else.
| Trading fee | 1% of every buy and every sell made from the terminal, in HYPE. |
| If you joined with a referral link | 0.9% — you get 10% off, for as long as you trade. |
| Deposits, withdrawals, transfers between your wallets | No fee (only network gas). |
| Placing or cancelling a limit order | No fee (only network gas). The trading fee applies when the order fills. |
Always in the same transaction
The fee is charged inside the same transaction as the trade, on every supported launchpad. If the trade fails or reverts, everything is undone and no fee is charged.
- Tokens with a Uniswap V2 / V3 pool — the trade goes through the Zephyr Trade router (ElysiumRouter), which takes the fee from the HYPE side of the swap.
- Bonding curves and launchpads with their own contracts — the fee goes out in the same transaction as the trade, charged on what actually moved.
- Limit orders — when one fills, it is an ordinary trade and pays the same fee.
How the amount is measured
- Buys: the fee comes out of the amount you enter. Buying 0.1 HYPE (without a referral link) spends 0.099 HYPE on the token and 0.001 HYPE on the fee.
- Sells: the fee is taken from the HYPE you receive.
- The fee is measured on-chain on the HYPE that actually left your wallet (buy) or arrived in it (sell). Tokens with a transfer tax are charged on what really moved.
Where it goes
- Without a referrer: 100% to the Zephyr Trade treasury.
- With a referrer: 25% of the fee goes to whoever invited you and 3% to whoever invited them, through the rewards vault. The rest goes to the treasury.
Costs that aren't ours
- Network gas — paid to Elysium for every transaction. On Elysium it is tiny.
- Token tax — some tokens charge their own buy/sell tax. It goes to the token, not to us; the token header shows it when there is one.
- Launchpad and pool fees — curves and pools charge their own trading fee, built into the price you get.
