# Trading Fees

Basketball.fun applies fees to every trade made on any player’s market. These fees fund the platform, support long-term sustainability, and help stabilize markets during high-volatility moments.

***

### **Base Trading Fee (3%)**

A flat **3% fee** is taken on every token swap across all player AMMs.

* Always active
* Applies whether you are buying or selling
* Goes directly to the platform treasury
* This is the core revenue engine of Basketball.fun

***

### **Volatility Fee**

To combat aggressive pumps and dumps of charts, we've implemented additional **volatility fee** to protect the nature of the game. 

| Price Drop (3 min) | Sell Fee | Min. Duration |
| ------------------ | -------- | ------------- |
| <10%               | 5%       | 5 mins        |
| >15%               | 7%       | 15 mins       |
| >20%               | 12%      | 60 mins       |
| >24%               | 17.5%    | 120 mins      |

In addition to this, if any player tries to sell more than 5% of the tokens reserves available in the liquidity pool, there will be a 25% fee to do so.&#x20;

The volatility fee helps:

* Reduce bot sniping
* Slow down runaway volatility
* Capture value during peak attention moments

Volatility fees reward long term investors and punishes short term speculators to ensure that large sells or buys do not affect the experience for other players. All players will be reminded via UI to ensure all players are aware of any additional fees before trading.

***

### **Where Fees Go**

All fees flow into the **protocol treasury**, which can be used for:

* Ecosystem incentives (sweepstakes, contests, etc)
* Buy-backs
* Liquidity reinforcement
* Development & operations
* Community rewards&#x20;
