# Fees and fairness: trading, funding, and network

> How QuantDesk presents trading fees, perpetual funding, and Solana network costs honestly in the product, with Swagger as the source for programmatic constants.

# Fees and fairness

User-facing summary — **exact fee schedules** live in product surfaces (fee panels, order previews) and may vary by market and deployment.

## What traders should expect

* **Trading fees** — maker/taker or equivalent structure as shown in-app at order time
* **Funding** — perpetual funding mechanics depend on market definitions and oracle/settlement design — confirm for each symbol
* **Network costs** — Solana transaction fees are separate from protocol trading fees

## Fairness principles

* Fees are disclosed **before submission** where the product supports it
* Docs avoid hiding adverse selection behind vague language — when something is experimental, we label it

## Developers / API consumers

* Numeric fee parameters for programmatic routes belong in **Swagger** when exposed
* Do not scrape marketing pages for fee constants — use signed previews or API responses from your environment
