The 1%
One fee, in cash, users first. The split, and what the same swap costs everywhere else.
Motoswap charges 1% per swap: 0.30% stays in the pool for the LPs, and 0.70% is collected in the quote asset of the trade. There are no deposit, withdrawal, or account fees.
Where it goes
The whole 1%, left to right: LPs 0.30%, Rakeback 0.20%, MOTO stakers 0.20%, the treasury 0.20%, and buyback and burn 0.10%. 70% of it goes back to traders, liquidity providers, and stakers; the Rakeback and Earning pages cover how to collect each cut.
Most swaps cost 1%. A graduated moto.fun coin adds a 0.3% creator fee, paid to its creator in cash, so a swap between the coin and ETH or MOTO costs 1.3%. The 1% covers one pool. When the best route passes through a second pool, that pool keeps its own 0.30% for its LPs, and the rest of the fee is still charged once. So a route through two pools costs about 1.3%, a swap from any other token into a graduated coin about 1.6%, and a swap from one graduated coin to another about 1.9%, because both creators get their fee. While a coin is still on its bonding curve, trades cost 1.2% with 0.5% of that to the creator.
What you pay elsewhere
The headline fee is never the whole bill. What a swap actually costs, all-in, and what comes back:
| Venue | All-in, per swap | Made of | Back to you |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photon on a pump.fun token | 2.25% each way | 1% bot + 1.25% curve fee | Nothing |
| pump.fun bonding curve | 1.25% | 0.95% protocol + 0.30% creator | Nothing |
| Phantom in-wallet | 0.85% + pool fee | 0.85% app + route pool fee + network fee | Nothing |
| Uniswap app | 0.3% to 1% | The pool fee, set per pair, + gas | Nothing |
| Motoswap | 1% (1.3% on a moto.fun coin) | Everything: LPs 0.30%, Rakeback 0.20%, stakers 0.20%, treasury 0.20%, buyback and burn 0.10%, plus the creator fee on moto.fun coins | 0.20% back + Points |
Uniswap is the cheapest venue for majors. The trenches run 1.25% to 2.25% per side, and a bot round trip on a fresh launch costs 4.5% before tips. None of it comes back. Motoswap prices below the trenches and pays like a casino.
Fees checked July 2026 against official fee pages and published schedules. Pump.fun coins graduate to PumpSwap, where fees tier down as market cap grows; new coins pay 1.25%. Venues change fees; when one does, this table gets updated.
The gas bill
Fees are only half of what a swap costs on Ethereum. The other half is gas, and gas moves with the network. Motoswap deploys its pairs as beacon proxies instead of full contracts, so creating a pool deploys a small proxy rather than a whole pair contract.
