🧾Fees

Buys and sells

Moonshot takes a fee on each trade on our platform to cover administrative costs and provide a smooth experience. The fee can be broken down into the following parts:

1. Network fees: We cover dynamic gas and priority fees on your behalf to ensure that the network prioritizes your order and fills it within seconds. Buying a coin for the first time via blockchains with a "rent" model, such as Solana, will incur an additional one-time network fee.

2. Administrative fees: We charge a fee based on the size of your trade to cover the platform's infrastructure and growth costs.

Tiers

Fees are tiered based on the size of your trades with certain minimums.

Trade size	Fee
$2-$100	2.5% with a ~$0.99 minimum
$100+	1%

By default, trades have a dynamic slippage tolerance of up to 5% to account for price volatility. This means that when placing a trade to buy $100 of a coin, you may receive $95-$105. You can manually change your slippage tolerance by clicking the settings icon at the top left of the buy/sell modal.

Deposits and withdrawals

Our partner, MoonPay, Inc., charges a fee on each deposit and withdrawal, which varies depending on your payment method. For a complete breakdown, please see their Fee Documentation.

Sends

Moonshot does not take an administrative fee for sends. The fee can be broken down into the following parts:

1. Network fees: We pay dynamic gas and priority fees on your behalf to ensure that the network prioritizes your transaction and confirms it within a few seconds. Sending coins to new users via blockchains with "rent" features, such as Solana, will incur an additional one-time network fee.
