# Fee Structure

> Understanding Quickscope fees and Solana network costs

## Trading Fee & Cashback

Quickscope charges a **1% base fee** on trades, but you earn much of it back through cashback.

**With Cashback:**

* Traders receive **up to 30% cashback** on trading fees
* Combined with scan rewards and referrals, many traders earn more than they pay in fees

The fee is the same across all platforms (desktop, mobile, Telegram) and all trade types.

## Solana Network Fees

Beyond Quickscope's fee, every Solana transaction includes blockchain costs:

| Fee Type         | Description                             | Typical Range      |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------- | ------------------ |
| **Base fee**     | Standard transaction cost               | \~0.000005 SOL     |
| **Priority fee** | Tip to validators for faster processing | 0.0001 - 0.01+ SOL |
| **MEV/Bribe**    | Block builder tip for speed             | Optional           |

### Priority Fees

Priority fees determine how quickly your transaction is processed:

* **Low priority**: Cheapest, may take longer during congestion
* **Medium priority**: Balanced speed and cost
* **High priority**: Fastest processing, higher cost

<Tip>
  Increase priority fees during network congestion to avoid stuck transactions.
</Tip>

### When to Increase Fees

* Network is congested (many pending transactions)
* Trading newly launched tokens (high competition)
* Time-sensitive trades
* Large transactions where execution matters

## Slippage

Slippage isn't a fee, but it affects your execution price:

* **Low slippage** (0.5-1%): Better price, may fail on volatile tokens
* **Medium slippage** (1-5%): Balanced for most trades
* **High slippage** (5-15%+): Ensures execution on volatile tokens

<Warning>
  Setting slippage too high means you accept a worse price. Only use high slippage when necessary.
</Warning>

## Configuring Fees

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Web">
    1. Go to **Settings** > **Trade Preset Settings**
    2. Configure priority fee and bribe for each preset (P1, P2, P3)
    3. Select preset when trading

    Or edit inline on any trade widget.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Telegram">
    Use `/settings` to access fee configuration. Telegram trades use your saved defaults.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Optimizing Costs

**Reduce fees when possible:**

* Use lower priority during quiet network periods
* Batch trades instead of many small ones
* Don't overset slippage

**Reclaim rent:**

* Token accounts cost \~0.002 SOL rent
* Reclaim rent when you no longer hold a token
* Access via wallet menu > Reclaim

<Note>
  Rent reclaiming adds up if you trade many different tokens. Check periodically.
</Note>
