Pepegun fees – what trading costs
GRAM is the main coin of the TON network. The bot counts and shows every fee in GRAM.
The bot's fee: 0.3%
| Trade | Bot fee |
|---|---|
| Buy for 1 GRAM | 0.01 GRAM (minimum) |
| Buy for 10 GRAM | 0.03 GRAM |
| Sale that brought in 250 GRAM | 0.75 GRAM |
- How much. 0.3% of the GRAM in the trade: of the GRAM spent on a buy, of the GRAM received on a sale. If 0.3% comes to less than 0.01 GRAM (trades up to about 3.3 GRAM), 0.01 GRAM is charged.
- When. After the network confirms the trade. The fee goes as a separate transfer from the same wallet that made the trade.
- How to see it. In the wallet's history it is an outgoing transfer with a comment like «🔫 Pepegun fee · DeDust · …»: the venue's name and the trade's number.
- If the trade did not go through, for example the DEX returned the money, there is no fee.
- Which trades. Every swap in the bot: by hand from a token card, limit orders and TP/SL, copy trading, snipes and autosnipe. On every venue, including tokens on a bonding curve.
- Which not. Transfers through 💸 Send carry no bot fee, only network gas. More in Send GRAM and tokens.
- Not part of the trade amounts. The swap card, positions and PnL show the trade itself, without the bot's fee.
- If the wallet is short of GRAM for the fee, the bot tries to charge it again later, including at the next trade from that wallet.
- The fee transfer itself costs a little gas too, paid by your wallet.
The bot gives part of its fee to the people who invited the trader: the referral programme. It does not make your trade any more expensive.
A wallet connected through TonConnect
If your wallet is connected through TonConnect, the bot's fee is a second message in the same request you approve in your wallet app. You can see it before you approve.
- On a buy it is counted from the buy amount, on a sale from the expected proceeds.
- It goes together with the trade, so it is charged even if the DEX later returns the money for the swap.
Network gas
Every operation on TON costs a little GRAM: this is gas. The network takes it, not the bot, and the wallet making the operation pays it.
- Keep a little GRAM in the wallet on top of the trade amount. If it is short, the bot says so: «Not enough GRAM: this operation needs at least … GRAM (amount + gas)».
- Even a failed attempt can cost gas. The bot then says «Only the gas of … was charged» or «no funds were charged except the network fee».
- When the bot says «+ network fee», it means gas.
The pool fee
Every pool on an exchange takes its own fee from a swap. It goes to the exchange and the liquidity providers, not to the bot. The bot counts it in when it works out how much you will get.
- On a token card it is the line «LP fee: 0.25%» (the number depends on the pool).
- Some tokens have their own buy and sell tax. The card then shows a line like «🅱️ 1% / 🆂 1%».
- In limit orders the bot says where the pool fee is counted: «💸 Pool fee 0.3% – on top of the order price» on a buy or «taken from the proceeds» on a sale.
Slippage and price impact are not fees. They show how far the price may move during a trade.
The token launcher
Creating a token has its own price, which the bot shows before you confirm:
- a standard token: 0.16 GRAM + network fee;
- a remint (minting more tokens): 0.1 GRAM + network fee;
- each change to the token's data, and revoking the rights: 0.05 GRAM + network fee;
- a launch on Uranus: the first buy + 0.1 GRAM of gas + network fee, the unspent gas comes back;
- a launch on moon.cx: the moon.cx fee (the bot shows the current amount) + 0.2 GRAM of gas + the first buy + network fee.
