# Platform Fees & User Costs

### Overview

<br>

FunMarket applies protocol-level fees to support the operation, maintenance, and development of the platform.

<br>

All fees are:

* Deterministic
* Enforced by smart contracts
* Displayed transparently before execution

<br>

FunMarket Labs Ltd does not dynamically adjust fees on a per-user basis.

***

### Trading Fees

<br>

When users buy or sell outcome shares, a trading fee may be applied.

<br>

Trading fees:

* Are calculated as a percentage of the transaction value
* Are enforced directly by the smart contract
* Apply equally to all participants

<br>

Trading fees are collected regardless of trade outcome.

***

### Market Creation Fees

<br>

Creating a market may require paying a market creation fee.

<br>

This fee:

* Discourages spam or low-quality markets
* Helps offset protocol operational costs
* Is paid at the time of market creation

<br>

Market creation fees are non-refundable.

***

### Resolution & Settlement Fees

<br>

Certain markets may apply fees at resolution or settlement.

<br>

These fees:

* Compensate for resolution infrastructure and verification
* Are applied uniformly according to protocol rules
* Do not depend on the resolved outcome

<br>

FunMarket Labs Ltd does not manually intervene in resolution or settlement.

***

### Blockchain Transaction Costs (Gas Fees)

<br>

All interactions with FunMarket occur on-chain and require blockchain transaction fees.

<br>

Users are responsible for:

* Network fees required by the Solana blockchain
* Any additional costs imposed by wallet providers

<br>

Gas fees are not collected by FunMarket Labs Ltd.

***

### Slippage & Price Impact

<br>

In addition to explicit fees, users may experience indirect costs due to:

* Slippage
* Price impact from large trades
* Market volatility

<br>

These costs are inherent to automated market maker models and are not platform fees.

***

### Fee Usage

<br>

Protocol fees may be used to:

* Maintain and upgrade the protocol
* Support infrastructure and tooling
* Incentivize ecosystem growth
* Fund security reviews and audits

<br>

Fee usage is subject to change and does not entitle users to governance rights or revenue sharing.

***

### No Fee Guarantees

<br>

Fees do not guarantee:

* Market accuracy
* Liquidity conditions
* Profitable trades
* Favorable execution prices

<br>

All users participate at their own risk.

***

### Transparency Commitment

<br>

FunMarket is committed to:

* Clear disclosure of all applicable fees
* No hidden charges
* No retroactive fee changes

<br>

Any future changes to fees will be reflected transparently in the interface and documentation.
