​
Protocol placement fee

Flew deducts a global protocol fee when you place a position. The fee is measured in basis points, where 100 basis points equals 1%.
The protocol sends the fee to the configured treasury and credits the net position to the market pool. Payouts, refunds, and manual-market capital recovery use the net position amount. The placement fee is not returned when you exit early or claim a refund.
The fee rate is stored in Flew’s global on-chain configuration. Treat any percentage shown in an example as illustrative unless the Flew interface confirms the active rate.

​
Early-exit fee

Flew can apply a separate global early-exit fee to both exit modes:
  • For a manual market, the gross exit value is your net position amount.
  • For a Switchboard market, the gross exit value comes from the oracle-based pricing calculation.
The early-exit fee is applied only when you exit before closing.

​
Solana and Arcium transaction costs

Your wallet also pays network costs that are separate from Flew’s protocol fees. These can include:
  • Solana transaction fees
  • Rent for newly created on-chain accounts
  • Transactions that queue Arcium computations
Keep a small SOL balance above the amount you want to place.

​
Payouts and refunds

Flew does not deduct another placement fee when you claim a payout or refund. Your wallet still pays the required Solana transaction costs. An unresolved-market refund returns the net position amount, not the original total amount paid.
