Why fee design matters
A route can look good on quote and still underperform after costs. FairSwap fee design focuses on transparent disclosure and predictable behavior so users can evaluate real net value before signing.
How FairSwap structures fees
- Up to $100: $0.05 fixed + 0.10%
- Above $100: $0.25 fixed + 0.05%
- Hard cap: 2% maximum protocol fee
This structure is explicit, tiered, and aligned with backend execution logic, reducing ambiguity in cost expectations.
Alignment with user outcomes
FairSwap routing compares options with a net-value perspective instead of optimizing headline quote only. When enabled and eligible, profit share follows a 70/30 split (user/protocol), keeping incentives aligned with execution quality.
Summary
Designing fees around user net value means predictable tiers, capped exposure, and no hidden custody model. That combination supports better decision quality for active DeFi participants.
