Fees & Revenue Model
This section explains how fees are applied, where commissions originate, and how future partnerships may integrate into our revenue model.
Swap Fees
When a user performs a swap through SpurSwap, the transaction executes directly on-chain via the best available decentralized exchange (DEX) route (e.g., PancakeSwap, Uniswap, SushiSwap). While the DEX itself charges its standard liquidity fee, SpurSwap applies only a small service fee to maintain aggregator infrastructure and APIs.
How it works:
DEX Fee: Standard rate (e.g., ~0.25%) charged by the liquidity pool provider.
SpurSwap Fee: A fractional aggregator fee, usually between 0.05% and 3.0%, depending on network conditions.
Network (Gas) Fee: Paid directly to the blockchain validators/miners.
All fees are included in the final quote, meaning users always see the actual net output before confirming the swap, no hidden deductions.
Aggregator Commission
Our aggregator operates by scanning multiple DEXs to find the best price and lowest slippage route for each trade. A tiny portion of each transaction (our aggregator commission) supports:
Infrastructure (servers, APIs, RPC endpoints)
Ongoing product improvements
New chain integrations
Reward and referral systems
Key points:
The fee is automatically handled in the smart contract, you don’t pay extra gas.
The rate is transparent and fixed within each transaction.
Quotes are always net of fees, so you get exactly what you see.
This ensures fair pricing while keeping SpurSwap’s operations fully self-sustaining.
Partner & Referral Rewards
To encourage community growth, SpurSwap reserves a portion of aggregator revenue (typically up to 30%) for referral or partnership rewards. This system allows active promoters, communities, or platforms that bring users to SpurSwap to earn passive rewards without affecting traders’ swap rates.
Reward structure highlights:
Comes from SpurSwap’s commission share, not the user’s output.
Transparent and traceable through on-chain tracking.
Will expand with future integrations (e.g., wallet partners, affiliate networks).
At launch, referral features may be gradually introduced, ensuring fair testing and distribution mechanisms.
Our Fee Philosophy
SpurSwap’s mission is to deliver maximum user value with minimal cost impact. Our guiding principles are:
Clarity before confirmation - every fee and route is visible in advance.
Fair and competitive rates - always benchmarked against other aggregators.
Sustainability for growth - fees fund improvements, not greed.
By combining transparent pricing with optimized routes, SpurSwap provides traders with the best possible swap execution at the lowest effective cost.
