Platform Fees
Sumo's transparent fee structure for trading volume and token launches.
Sumo charges a 1% platform fee on Sumo-executed trading volume. Token launches also require a launch fee, paid as either a $250 launch ticket or 0.5% of token supply as dev allocation.
Deposits, withdrawals, wallet generation, and internal wallet management do not have a Sumo platform fee.
How It Works
When Sumo executes a buy or sell through a strategy, a manual trading action, or Wallet Farm activity generation, the platform fee is calculated from the executed trade volume. The fee is tracked and shown in the Sumo Trade Fees metric in Insights. Unlike strategy and manual trade fees, activity generation fees do not earn fee rebates or referral revenue.
On profiles whose quote token is neither the chain's native asset nor a stablecoin, fees paid in the quote token earn cashback once Sumo has sold them to native, from the sale's proceeds less a standard 1% conversion charge; see Profiles with a custom quote token.
Network gas, DEX fees, aggregator fees, and third-party privacy provider fees are separate from Sumo's platform fee.
Fee Amounts Are Fixed Before Execution
On Solana and some EVM routes the platform fee is set when the transaction is built, from the quoted price, because the network requires a fixed amount before the trade lands. The final price can differ within your slippage setting, so the fee charged may be slightly above or below exactly 1% of the executed volume. When many wallets sell the same token at once, for example a fast Sell All, each wallet's fee is calculated from its own quote as if it were the only sale, before the combined price impact of the other wallets. The total fee can therefore be well above 1% of what the sale actually returns, especially when the amount sold is large compared with the pool's liquidity, and a wallet's fee can exceed its own proceeds, with the difference paid from the quote balance it already holds. Buys sized in tokens are charged on the maximum amount the trade may spend.
| Action | Fee |
|---|---|
| Sumo-executed trading volume | 1% of executed volume |
| Wallet Farm activity generation | 1% of executed swap volume (same rate as Sumo-executed trades) |
| Wallet Farm privacy funding | Standard privacy swap fee on the funded amount; waived automatically when the amount is too small for the provider to pay the fee leg |
| Token launch | Choose one: $250 launch ticket or 0.5% token supply dev allocation |
| Deposits | Free |
| Withdrawals | Free |
| Internal transfers | Free |
| Wallet generation | Free |
Launch Fees
For each launch, you choose one launch-fee payment method. Sumo does not charge both the launch ticket and dev allocation for the same launch.
| Method | How it Works |
|---|---|
| Launch Ticket | Buy a launch ticket for $250 in canonical USDC from your Sumo Balance. One ticket covers one launch. |
| Dev Allocation | Pay 0.5% of the launched token supply as a dev-allocation fee. |
The dev-allocation fee is taken from the launch's bundle wallets. A launch with no bundle wallets takes it from the dev wallet instead:
- On a bonding-curve launchpad (Pump.fun, StonkFun, BONK.fun, Memoo, meme.fun, America.Fun, Flap BSC, Four.meme, moto.fun, and Robinhood Flap, LetsCash, Pons V2, lunch.fun, Flywheel and Pools.trade once their updated launch delegates are live) the Launch plan's bundle is 0% (the launch is dev-only), so the dev buy must be at least the fee share of supply. A create-only launch with no dev buy (and every SushiSwap launch without bundle wallets, once available, which has no dev buy) therefore needs a Launch Ticket.
- On a pool launchpad (Uniswap V2/V3, PancakeSwap V2, Aerodrome) the launch only deploys the token and adds liquidity, and the fee comes from the supply the dev keeps outside the pool, which must be at least the fee share of supply. Uniswap V4 (Base, Robinhood) works the same way: the dev never buys, and with the Launch plan's bundle at 0% the fee comes from the supply the dev keeps outside the pool (Dev keeps).
If the dev's share is smaller than the fee share, the launch needs a Launch Ticket.
Launch tickets are organization-level inventory. You can buy multiple tickets at once from the Rewards page, then apply one ticket to a later launch.
The dev-allocation method is useful when you do not want to prepay in USDC. The ticket method is useful when you want a fixed launch cost before launch execution.
Example
If Sumo executes $10,000 of trading volume:
- Platform fee: $100 (1%)
- Trading, strategy, and fee totals are reflected in Insights and logs
If you launch a token:
- Launch ticket method: $250 ticket consumed for that launch
- Dev-allocation method: 0.5% of token supply collected as the launch fee
Only the method selected for that launch is charged.
