Fee Structure
These are the standard VFAT strategy fees. Network gas, underlying protocol or swap costs, and cover premiums are separate. Review the transaction details for the fees applicable to your chosen route and contract version.
A swap during deposit or withdrawal can trigger a fee even when you start with an underlying pool token:
| Method | Fee |
|---|---|
| Deposit LP token or NFT | 0% |
| Deposit both underlying tokens without a swap | 0% |
| Deposit other token (swap takes place) | 0.09% |
| Withdraw LP token or NFT | 0% |
| Withdraw to both underlying tokens without a swap | 0% |
| Withdraw to single token (swap takes place) | 0.09% |
Other actions carry a fee as below:
| Action | Fee |
|---|---|
| Harvest | 0.9% of rewards |
| Compound | 0.9% of rewards |
| Rebalance, ≤0.05% fee pool | 0.01% of position |
| Rebalance, ≤0.3% fee pool | 0.03% of position |
| Rebalance, higher fee pool | 0.05% of position |
| Auto-harvest | 1.2% of rewards |
| Auto-compound | 1.8% of rewards |
| Auto-rebalance | Same position fee as manual rebalance; reward handling is separate |
| Auto-exit | Standard withdrawal fee plus any fee on collected rewards |
Bundled Protocol Cover premiums are priced separately at purchase time and aren’t part of this table.
Normal automation runs only when its fee revenue can cover gas and its other conditions are met. If you enable prepaid automation gas, eligible runs can charge gas to that balance when fee revenue is insufficient. Prepaying gas does not waive strategy fees.
Token transfer taxes
Some tokens charge their own fee on every transfer. For example, fBOMB on Base takes 1%. The token contract takes this tax, not VFAT. It is separate from the strategy fees above, swap costs and slippage.
An action can move a taxed token several times, and each transfer pays the tax. A zap into a pool with a taxed token pays once when the swap delivers the token and again when it is added to the pool. An exit pays on the pool payout and again on the transfer to your wallet.
VFAT shows the tax in several places:
- A badge such as 1% tax next to the token on pools, positions, token pickers and token lists. Hover or tap it for details. Dense list rows on phones leave it out.
- A warning above the button on deposit, increase, move, withdraw, compound, harvest, rebalance and swap forms. Once a quote is ready, the warning names the taxed transfers and the estimated total.
- A Transfer tax section in the transaction details and the review before signing, with one row per taxed transfer.
The estimate applies the token’s recorded rate to the quoted amounts. An aggregator route can pass the token through more hops than the quote lists, and each hop pays again, so the actual tax can be higher. Slippage applies on top. VFAT can only show a tax it has a recorded rate for.
