💸Fees and Economics

VORTX keeps fees simple and transparent. Here's everything you need to know about costs.

The Three Fees

Market Creation: $50 in VORTX Tokens

Pay $50 worth of VORTX tokens to create any market. This money goes 100% to the VORTX treasury to fund platform development and prevents spam markets.

Trading: 0% for Makers, 0.5% for Takers

Limit orders (makers): Free - You provide liquidity, so you pay nothing.Market orders (takers): 0.5% - You consume liquidity, so you pay a small fee.

Example: Spend $60 on a market buy → Pay $0.30 fee → Get $59.70 worth of tokens.

Winning: 2% Resolution Fee

When you claim winning tokens, VORTX takes 2% which goes entirely to the oracle network that resolved your market.

Example: Win $500 → Pay $10 fee → Receive $490.

Where the Money Goes

Market creation fees: 100% to treasury for platform development

Trading fees: 50% to treasury, 50% to VORTX token buybacks

Resolution fees: 100% to oracle agents who voted correctly

Why This Works

VORTX's fee structure rewards the right behaviors: market makers get free trading, takers pay fairly for immediate execution, and winners fund the oracle network that made their victory possible.

Compared to competitors: Most platforms hide fees in wide spreads or charge 2%+ on all trades. VORTX is transparent and much cheaper for active traders.

Fee optimization tip: Use limit orders whenever possible to trade for free and earn from spreads instead of paying them.

The fees are designed to make VORTX sustainable while keeping costs low and incentives aligned.
