Buy and Sell Fees
To ensure the long-term sustainability and scalability of the DECA ecosystem, a modest transaction fee is applied to every token trade. This includes a 0.5% fee on buys and a 1.0% fee on sells, designed to support ongoing operations, reward stakeholders, and maintain a healthy economic infrastructure.
🔍 Why Transaction Fees?
In traditional Web2 ecosystems, platform growth and infrastructure are supported through central revenue streams like advertising, subscriptions, or venture capital. In contrast, DECA operates within a decentralised Web3 environment, where on-chain activity can become a direct revenue driver for the ecosystem, without relying on external funding or token inflation.
By applying minimal buy/sell fees, DECA creates a self-sustaining revenue engine that grows with community adoption and trading volume.
🧠 How Fees Are Used
The revenue generated from these transaction fees is allocated to cover critical costs and fuel ecosystem growth, including:
👥 Staff Salaries
Supports engineers, marketers, and operational staff behind Decawin and DECA development.
🏢 Company Operations
Pays for day-to-day business expenses, software, infrastructure, licensing, and regulatory compliance.
📣 Marketing & Awareness
Funds advertising campaigns, content creation, community events, and influencer partnerships to drive DECA adoption.
🎁 Ecosystem Rewards
Supports affiliate payouts, partner bonuses, and community incentive programs.
🛠️ Token Infrastructure
Covers costs for DECA node maintenance, RPC services, API integrations, and smart contract audits.
📈 Additional Opportunities for Fee Allocation
As the ecosystem evolves, additional use cases for transaction fee revenue may include:
Liquidity Support: Automatically reinject a portion into liquidity pools to stabilise price and reduce slippage.
Token Buybacks: Repurchase DECA from the market during dips to reinforce price and sentiment.
DAO Treasury Growth (future upgrade): Allocate a share to a decentralised treasury governed by token holders.
Legal & Compliance Reserve: Establish a fund to manage legal requirements as the platform scales internationally.
Staking Boost Pools: Temporarily increase staking APY by injecting fee-derived DECA to reward holders.
⚖️ Balanced & User-Friendly
With only 0.5% on buys and 1.0% on sells, DECA’s fee structure is intentionally low to:
Encourage frequent trading and onboarding.
Avoid punishing holders or speculators.
Remain competitive with other major Web3 tokens.
These fees are fully transparent, non-custodial, and distributed directly via smart contract, ensuring that every transaction actively supports the ecosystem's mission.
DECA’s modest 0.5% buy and 1% sell fees also serve as a natural deterrent to MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) attacks such as front-running, sandwich trades, and flash loan arbitrage. These strategies rely on razor-thin profit margins, and the enforced fee structure makes such attacks economically unviable without negatively impacting regular users. This added layer of protection helps maintain fair trading conditions, reduces volatility, and strengthens the integrity of DECA’s token economy.
🚀 Building for the Long Run
The DECA fee model is not just about collecting revenue — it's about aligning incentives. Every token swap contributes to the growth, security, and longevity of the Decawin ecosystem, making every user an active participant in the platform's success.
As adoption scales, these fees create a circular economy, where value generated by users is reinvested into the ecosystem, without reliance on token inflation, external capital or staking.
