Most trading tools obscure their fees. They embed them in the swap, blend them into the slippage figure, surface them only in fine print. By the time you’ve made fifty trades you have no idea how much you’ve actually paid them. Dequan does the opposite.

​
What you see

Per-trade fee, on every fill

Every trade confirmation shows the platform fee that was applied — flat, in SOL, separate from priority fee, separate from slippage.

Cumulative fees in PnL

Your portfolio PnL view includes a cumulative fees line. You can see exactly how much Dequan has earned from your activity, all-time and per-period.

Fee tier surfaced clearly

The fee tier you’re on (which depends on your subscription tier and any active referral relationship) is shown in your account view. No hidden tiers, no opaque adjustments.

On-chain auditable

Every fee transfer is an on-chain transaction with a signature you can pull up in any explorer. Nothing about the fee accounting lives only in Dequan’s database.

​
What the fees fund

The platform fee covers infrastructure: data feeds, parallel landing paths, hot-cache warmup, storage, security, the engineering that makes all of it work. We’re not shy about it — running this kind of pipeline costs real money and the fees are how it stays funded without ads, without privacy compromises, without selling user data. We’re also not shy about the fact that it’s a business. We want to be paid for the value we deliver. The contract is transparency for trust: we tell you exactly what you’re paying, you decide whether the speed and safety are worth it.

​
Tier discounts

  • Scout (free) — base fee tier, full feature access
  • Sniper (Invite Only) — reduced fee tier
  • Apex (Invite Only) — lowest fee tier
The fee differences across tiers are meaningful for high-volume traders. They are why the upgraded tiers exist — not feature unlocks, fee and limit improvements.

​
Referral discounts

If you signed up through someone’s referral link, you receive a small fee discount on every trade for as long as you remain in the referral relationship. The referrer simultaneously earns a small cut of your fees — see Referrals. The fee discount is shown in your account view and applied to every trade you make. You can confirm it’s active by inspecting any trade’s fee line.

​
What we will never do

  • Hide fees in the swap. The fee is never blended into the price you see.
  • Charge withdrawal fees. Pulling SOL out of Lightning Wallet costs only the on-chain priority fee.
  • Charge inactivity fees. Sitting on the platform without trading costs you nothing.
  • Charge “premium support” fees. Support is the same on every tier.
  • Auto-renew silently. Paid tiers (Sniper, Apex) require explicit renewal.

​
The principle

A trading platform that is dishonest about its fees is dishonest about its incentives. We have chosen to be aggressively transparent here because we want users who can do the math and decide for themselves that the value is real. If our fees are bad, you can see they’re bad and switch. If they’re good, you can see they’re good and stay. Either way, the choice is yours and the data is in your hands.
