FAQ

Are there hidden fees?

No. The 1% protocol fee and the creator fee (if any) are the only fees. Both shown before you confirm.

Do I pay fees when I sell?

Yes. The same fees apply to both buy and sell transactions.

Does the creator fee affect my Midas Points?

You earn 1 MP per $1 of trading volume. The creator fee is separate and does not affect MP earned.
