The builder fee
You approve the cap up front (see Activate). You
are only ever charged on real trades.
Where the fee goes
The builder fee is the engine behind every reward on Agonaut. The large majority flows straight back to the community:Community
The majority of the fee funds competition prizes and referral payouts, back
to traders in USDC.
Platform
The remainder keeps Agonaut running: infrastructure, development, and
operations.
The split is deliberately generous to the community. There is no token to prop
up, so the fee can do its real job: reward the traders who make the arena.
Other costs
- Hyperliquid trading fees apply as normal, separate from the builder fee.
- Withdrawals carry a flat 1 USDC fee, taken by Hyperliquid.
- Deposits are just transfers, aside from a small one time activation on a brand new Hyperliquid account.
