Does Alcor Exchange Have Fees?

Fees depend on how you trade. On top of them you pay the network's own resource costs (CPU, NET, RAM), as with any transaction.

Swap — every pool has a fee tier of 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.3% or 1%, chosen when the pool was created. The fee is charged on each swap through the pool and is earned by the pool's liquidity providers; depending on the pool's protocol fee setting, part of it goes to Alcor. A swap routed through several pools pays the fee of each pool it passes. A website or app that embeds Alcor Swap can add its own fee of up to 1%, see Referral / Custom Market Fee.

Spot (order book) — newly created markets have no trading fee. Some markets have a fee set by Alcor; it goes to the Alcor development fund.

OTC — each trade is charged 0.25% on both tokens when the amount is large enough; small trades pay no commission. This fee also goes to the Alcor development fund.
