How trading fees work#
KOLfi trades can include three fee categories: Solana priority fees, bundle tip fees, and KOLfi platform fees. Priority fees and bundle tips are execution costs paid outside of KOLfi; the KOLfi fee is the platform fee charged on trades made inside KOLfi.
| Fee | What it does | Who receives it |
|---|---|---|
| Solana Priority Fee | Pays Solana validators for higher transaction priority. KOLfi's Auto setting uses live network estimates, currently based on the p90 priority fee target, to help give the transaction enough priority. Setting a very low manual priority fee can make a trade more likely to fail or revert. | Solana validators. KOLfi receives 0% of this fee. |
| Bundle Tip Fee | Trades are submitted in bundles by default, and bundles require tips. Bundle tips compete in an auction; if the tip is too low, the bundle may not land quickly or may fail to land. Auto bundle tip uses recent landed-tip estimates so KOLfi can choose a relevant tip for current conditions. | Bundle infrastructure and validators. KOLfi receives 0% of this fee. |
| KOLfi Fee | KOLfi charges a platform fee on buys and sells made inside the app. The fee is 1% of the transaction amount, with a minimum fee of $0.50 in SOL value when the percentage fee would be lower. | KOLfi. |
Trade execution, slippage, and failed trades#
KOLfi uses a dedicated trade execution path built to give trades a high chance of landing. When you submit a buy or sell, KOLfi builds the transaction for the token's route and submits it directly to the respective trading venue.
Direct venue execution
KOLfi sends the trade to the venue for that token and route, reducing handoffs and improving the chance of a clean execution.
Bundled by default
Trades are bundled by default, which helps protect against bots that reorder, front-run, or sandwich pending trades.
