Fees Structure

How fees are applied to both primary and secondary trades

Whales Market is committed to offering a flexible and transparent trading experience while maintaining platform sustainability through a minimal fee structure. Here's how fees are applied across different actions on the platform:

1. Settlement Fee

• The final buyer (the one holding the position at settlement) and the original seller (the one delivering the tokens) will each incur a 2.5% fee based on the notional value of the trade.

• This fee is deducted from each party’s collateral during the settlement process.

2. Resell Position Fee

• When a buyer resells their pre-market position before the token generation event (TGE), an extra 5% fee is applied to the resale order notional value. This additional fee is not eligible for any discounts.

• This fee is deducted at the time the resale is successfully executed.

3. Example

• A buyer purchases a position for $1,000. If they later resell it for $1,500, a 5% fee ($75) is applied to the resale order.

• At settlement, the final Buyer and original Seller each pay a 2.5% fee on $1,000 ($25 each).
