FAQ: Fees

What does GAUGE charge fees on?

Minting a synthetic and swapping through an AMM pool. See Fees for the full list.

How much are the fees?

Not set yet. Rates are decided by governance and will be published before mainnet launch. There are no numbers to quote today.

Where does the fee revenue go?

100% of collected fees fund $GAUGE buybacks and the listing of new synthetic assets. See Tokenomics → Fee policy.

Is gas a GAUGE fee?

No. Every transaction costs ETH for gas on Robinhood Chain, paid to the network, not to GAUGE.

What is the "rebalance cost" on an event-triggered synth?

Not a protocol fee: it is the optimistic-oracle reward and final fee plus the keeper reward, paid by whoever triggers the rebalance and offset by that reward.
