Platform Fees
Swap Fee
25 BPS (0.25%) applied on every swap transaction, both same-chain and cross-chain.
Yield Performance Fee
5% performance fee charged on exit from yield positions. This fee is only applied to the profits earned, not the principal.
Fee Fields in API Responses
When you query strategies viaGET /strategies or GET /strategies/:id, each strategy object includes fee-related fields:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
fee | string | Entry fee in basis points (e.g., "0" = 0.00%, "25" = 0.25%). Configured per customer. |
performanceFeeBps | string | Performance fee in basis points, charged on profits at withdrawal (e.g., "500" = 5%). |
Both fields are strings representing basis points (1 BPS = 0.01%). These values may vary per customer based on your integrator agreement.
Fee Stacking
Deframe fees are charged on top of any underlying protocol fees (e.g., Aave’s own protocol fees). The total cost to the end user is:Protocol fees + Deframe platform fees + Your integrator markup (if configured)
Markup Fees
As an integrator, you can add your own markup fees on top of the platform fees to monetize your integration.| Fee Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Swap Markup | Additional BPS added on top of the 25 BPS platform fee for swap transactions |
| Yield Performance Markup | Additional performance fee percentage added on top of the 5% platform fee on yield exits |
Markup fees are currently configured through the admin panel. A self-service API endpoint for managing markup fees is planned for a future release. Contact us at support@deframe.io to set up your custom markup fees.
