Fees & rent

BazaarFi charges one fee, and it's simple: 0.5% of the SOL legs of a trade, paid by the taker at settlement. Trades with no SOL on either side settle free.

Protocol fee

• Rate: 50 basis points (0.5%), capped on-chain at 5%.
• Applies only to SOL amounts in the trade, on both sides combined.
• Deducted at settlement and sent to the protocol treasury.
• Creating, cancelling, expiring, and reclaiming are always free of protocol fees.

Refundable rent

Solana requires accounts to hold a rent-exempt balance. When you create a trade you temporarily fund:

• The trade account itself (size depends on bundle complexity, roughly 0.01–0.02 SOL).
• One vault token account per escrowed token or NFT (~0.002 SOL each).

All of it comes back. Vaults close at settlement or reclaim, and the trade account closes after settlement or cancellation, returning every lamport of rent to you.

Network fees

Standard Solana transaction fees apply (~0.000005 SOL per signature, plus optional priority fees). Publishing a trade takes a few transactions signed in one prompt; accepting takes one.
