# Fees

> Every fee on Manna, who receives it and when it applies, with worked examples. Trading, creator fees, launch, graduation, sniper shield, bridge, locks, DEX PAID and network costs.

Manna's fees are flat and shown before you confirm. This page lists every one of them. The numbers here are generated from Manna's code, so they match what the app charges. The binding version is the [Fee Schedule](/legal/fees); if anything ever differs, the fee shown on the confirmation screen is the one that applies.

## At a glance

| Network (gas) fees | Set by each blockchain | Every on-chain transaction | The blockchain's validators |

## Trading fee

Manna charges **1% of every trade**, buy or sell, on every chain. It's already included in the quote you see, so the amount you receive is after the fee.

How it is taken depends on the route:

| Where you trade | How the 1% is taken |
| --- | --- |
| Any token on Solana | In SOL or USDC, whichever side of the trade it's on. On Jupiter routes it's Jupiter's platform fee; on direct venues (pump.fun, PumpSwap, Meteora) it's a transfer in the same transaction |
| Any token on Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Avalanche | In the chain's native coin: from what you pay on a buy, from what you receive on a sell |
| Any token on Robinhood Chain | Through Manna's swap contract, from the ETH, WETH or USDG side of the trade |
| A Manna coin on its bonding curve | Built into the coin's own fee: 1% to Manna plus the creator fee |
| A graduated Manna coin on Solana | Built into the pool's fee (1% + creator fee). No extra 1% on top |
| A graduated or Bot-ready Manna coin on an EVM chain | The Uniswap pool's fee is 1% + creator fee |

> [!NOTE] Manna coins never pay Manna twice
> With one-tap trading or the bot, a Manna coin is never charged Manna's 1% trading fee on top of its own fee, on any chain: not a Robinhood Chain coin already in its Uniswap pool (including Bot-ready coins), which is traded straight in that pool, and not a Solana coin paired with USDC or another token. Because these trades pay no separate trading fee, they earn no trading cashback; the coin's own fee is split between Manna and the creator as above. One case still pays the trading fee: when you sell a Robinhood coin paired with a token that isn't cash (BTD or a stock token), turning that token back into ETH is an ordinary swap. A USDG pair stays as USDG, which already counts as cash. The quote always shows what you'll receive after every fee.

### Where Manna's 1% goes

```diagram:fee-flow
```

Of what Manna keeps from the trading fee on Manna coins, **40%** is set aside for buying back $MANNA, **10%** for $MANNA holders and **50%** runs Manna (the treasury). The $MANNA reserves are held until $MANNA goes live. $MANNA does not exist yet, and there is no promise that it will; see [Burns and the Storehouse](/docs/rewards/burns-and-storehouse).

For the first 100 coins to bond, 25% of Manna's share of each coin comes out of the treasury's part and buys that coin back, and the coins are burned. See [First 100 bonded](/docs/rewards/first-100-bonded).

## Cashback and referral rewards {#cashback}

On trading-page swaps (any token you trade through Manna's router), part of Manna's fee comes back. Your cashback share depends on your own trading volume over the last 30 days:

| Tier | Your 30-day trading volume | Share of Manna's fee back to you | Effective cashback on a trade |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Base** | $0.00 to $249,999 | 25% | 0.25% |
| **Mid** | $250,000 to $999,999 | 30% | 0.3% |
| **Power** | $1,000,000 to $4,999,999 | 35% | 0.35% |
| **Whale** | $5,000,000 and up | 40% | 0.4% |

If someone joined with your referral link, you also earn a share of the fee on their trades, based on the total 30-day volume of everyone you referred:

| Tier | 30-day volume of everyone you referred | Share of their fee paid to you | Effective rate on their trades |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Silver** | $0.00 to $999,999 | 25% | 0.25% |
| **Gold** | $1,000,000 to $4,999,999 | 30% | 0.3% |
| **Platinum** | $5,000,000 and up | 35% | 0.35% |

**Example.** You buy $1,000 of a token on Arbitrum and you're in the Base tier. The fee is $10. You get $2.50 back as cashback (25% of $10), and the person who invited you gets $2.50. Manna keeps $5.

Swaps on Robinhood Chain's trading contract pay a fixed 25% cashback and 25% referral share, set in the contract. Trades on a coin's launchpad curve pay the coin's own fee (which goes to Manna, the creator and holders) rather than cashback. Full details, including how to claim: [Cashback and referrals](/docs/rewards/cashback-and-referrals).

## Creator fee

Every Manna coin has a **creator fee from 0% to 10%**, chosen by its creator at launch and fixed forever after. It is paid on every buy and sell, **on top of** Manna's 1%. A coin with a 2% creator fee costs 3% per trade in total; the coin page shows the total as "Every trade pays …%".

The creator decides where the creator fee goes, as a split across seven destinations: themselves, holders (Harvest Drops), the Comeback Fund, the Hype Crew, buyback and burn, a daily jackpot, and airdrops to active traders. Shared parts are paid out by Manna's keeper every 15 minutes. See [Fee routes](/docs/launchpad/fee-routes).

## Launch fee

| Chain | Launch fee | When it's charged |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Solana | $0.50 | Inside the launch transaction |
| Robinhood Chain | $1 | A small transfer right after a successful launch. A launch that fails never costs it |
| Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Avalanche | $1 | Same as Robinhood Chain, in ETH, BNB, POL or AVAX |

The fee is paid in the chain's native coin at the current price. On top of it you pay the network's own costs. A Solana launch needs roughly 0.03 SOL of network deposits (about 0.0064 SOL for the curve's config account, 0.0215 SOL for the pool, plus transaction fees), which is about $3. A first buy ("dev buy"), if you make one, is a normal trade.

## Graduation fee

When a **Solana** coin's bonding curve fills and it moves to its Meteora DEX pool, Manna takes **10% of the SOL or USDC the curve raised**. The curve is sized to raise a little more so the pool still opens at the graduation price. There is no graduation fee on Robinhood Chain or other EVM chains. See [Curves and graduation](/docs/launchpad/curves-and-graduation).

## Sniper shield fees

For the first 3 to 30 seconds after a launch (the creator chooses), buys pay a very high fee to make sniping bots unprofitable. Normal traders simply wait a few seconds.

On every chain the creator picks a flat fee of 90%, 95%, 99% for the whole window, or a fading fee that starts at 99% and falls to the normal fee. Manna keeps a third of what snipers pay above the normal fee. The rest:

- **Solana:** goes into the coin's fee pool and follows the creator's route.
- **Robinhood Chain and other EVM chains:** goes where the creator picks: the Comeback Fund, holders, a burn, or themselves (on the Manna curve and on Bot-ready coins).

Coins from Manna's first EVM launch contracts keep their original shield (99% extra, halving every fourteenth of the window), with all of it going to the creator's pick.

The creator's own launch buy, and on EVM chains their team wallets, skip the shield. See [Sniper shield](/docs/launchpad/sniper-shield).

## Bridge fee

Bridging and migrating between chains costs a **0.7% Manna fee**, shown as "Manna fee (0.7%)" in every quote, plus the network and relayer fees of the route (also shown). When Manna moves your cash between chains automatically to pay for a trade, or to deliver a withdrawal, there is **no** Manna fee: you only pay the route's own costs. See [Bridge](/docs/bridge).

## Withdrawals, deposits, sends and tips

Manna charges nothing to deposit, withdraw, send money to another Manna user, or tip a post (tips go wallet to wallet; Manna takes nothing). You pay only the blockchain's network fee, and when a withdrawal has to come from cash on a different chain, the cost of moving it.

## Token locks

Locking tokens on Solana uses Jupiter's lock program and costs **0.16 SOL** per lock plus **0.5%** of the locked tokens for a lock that releases all at once, or **0.19%** for a lock that releases gradually. On Robinhood Chain the locker contract sets its fee, and the lock screen shows it before you confirm. The seven newer EVM chains have no token locker: there, only a first buy can be locked, for 30 days inside the launch, at no extra cost. See [Dev buy and locks](/docs/launchpad/dev-buy-and-locks).

## DEX PAID

Creators can order DexScreener's "Enhanced Token Info" (DEX PAID) for their coin from the coin page. It costs **$319** by default: DexScreener's $299 plus Manna's handling, paid in SOL. If Manna hasn't submitted the order to DexScreener within 24 hours, you're refunded automatically. See [Creator tools](/docs/launchpad/creator-tools).

## AI credits

Manna AI is paid with AI credits (1 credit = $0.01), which holders of AI-credit coins earn. Each request is charged at the cost the AI provider reports, with no markup. See [Manna AI](/docs/rewards/manna-ai).

## Network fees

Every blockchain charges its own fee for each transaction. Manna doesn't receive these. On Solana, Manna adds a priority fee so trades land quickly, capped at 0.001 SOL per transaction. On EVM chains you pay gas in the chain's native coin. When you trade with one-tap, Manna keeps a small amount of each chain's native coin aside in your cash so you can always pay gas.

**Network fee in USDC.** If you hold only USDC and none of the chain's coin, you pay the network fee from your USDC: $0.02 of USDC on Solana (at least twice the fee Manna's keeper fronts, so more only when SOL is very expensive), and on an EVM chain the few cents of gas Manna sends plus $0.02, paid back in USDC. Manna never pays the fee for you; it only makes it possible without a gas coin. Moving USDC off an EVM chain needs no gas and costs nothing extra. See [No gas coin? Pay the fee in USDC](/docs/trading/one-tap-and-cash#no-gas-coin-pay-the-fee-in-usdc).

## Worked examples

**Buying a Manna coin on its curve.** You buy 1 SOL of a coin with a 2% creator fee. In total 3% of the trade goes to fees: about 0.01 SOL to Manna and about 0.02 SOL through the creator's route (for example 40% to the creator and the rest to holders and others). The rest buys the coin. You also pay a small network fee.

**Trading any token on Solana.** You sell a pump.fun token for 5 SOL. Manna's fee is 0.05 SOL; you receive about 4.95 SOL (minus price impact and network fee). At the base tier, 0.0125 SOL comes back to you as cashback.

**Bridging.** You bridge $200 of USDC from Arbitrum to Solana. Manna's fee is $1.40. The quote also lists the relayer and network fees, and the guaranteed minimum you'll receive.

## Fees can change

Manna may change its fees. A coin's creator fee and fee split can never change after launch. The fee shown on the confirmation screen, or in the quote, is the fee that applies to that action.
