# Fees

### Fees

PredictBase is fully decentralized and transparent — and so is the fee model. Here’s a full breakdown of fees you may encounter while using the platform.

***

#### Trading Fee (2% )

Each trade (buy/sell) includes a **2% transaction fee**, which is split evenly:

| Fee Type             | Amount | Description                                                              |
| -------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Creator Revenue**  | 1%     | Paid to the market creator after the market is resolved                  |
| **Protocol Revenue** | 1%     | Used to fund PredictBase development, infrastructure & **PREDI** buyback |

**These fees are included in your quoted share price.**

**Example:**\
You want to buy **$100 USDC worth of shares** in the Lakers market:

* **$1 USDC** goes to **creator revenue**
* **$1 USDC** goes to the **platform**
* You will receive shares based on the **remaining $98 USDC**

***

#### How is **Protocol Revenue used**?

* Supporting platform development and future improvements
* **25% of protocol revenue** is allocated for **quarterly PREDI buyback and burn**, helping reduce supply and support token value

***

#### No Hidden Costs

* No monthly fees
* No deposit or withdrawal fees

***

#### Refunds on Canceled Markets

If a market is canceled:

* You will receive a **full refund**
* This includes your **original stake** and **any paid fees**

Refunds are claimable directly through the **dashboard** and handled 100% via smart contract logic.
