# Fees

## Anti-Sniping Launch Protections

To ensure a fair token distribution at launch and prevent sniper bots from gaining an unfair advantage, a tiered system of temporary trading fees and wallet size limits has been implemented.

### Time-Based Protection Phases

| Time Since Launch | Trading Fee | Max Wallet Size (% of Total Supply) |
| ----------------- | ----------- | ----------------------------------- |
| 0–1 minute        | 40%         | 0.10%                               |
| 1–5 minutes       | 30%         | 0.15%                               |
| 5–8 minutes       | 20%         | 0.20%                               |
| 8–15 minutes      | 10%         | 0.30%                               |

### After 15 Minutes

* **Trading fee** is reduced to **5%**
* **All wallet size limits are removed**

### Simple, Transparent Fee Structure

Treza uses a transparent trading fee model designed to bootstrap protocol development, reward early contributors, and support long-term sustainability.

* **Trading Fee**: 5**% on all buys and sells**
* **Fee can be lowered, but never raised**

This structure ensures predictability for users and contributors while giving the community flexibility to reduce fees over time through governance.

***

### Why a Trading Fee?

The trading fee serves several purposes:

* **Bootstrap Protocol Growth**\
  Early activity helps fund core development, infrastructure, and ecosystem incentives.
* **Incentivize Early Supporters**\
  Revenue generated during the early phase is used to grow the protocol and build long-term value.
* **Sustainability Without Inflation**\
  Rather than issuing new tokens to fund operations, Treza uses trading fees to support growth — with no emissions or dilution.

***

### Fee Reduction Plan

While the trading fee starts at 5%, it may be reduced over time as the protocol hits major usage or adoption milestones.

* **Governance-Controlled**\
  Any fee reductions will be voted on by `$TREZA` holders.
* **Never Increased**\
  The fee can **only go down**, ensuring long-term predictability and user trust.

***

### Fee Allocation

Fees collected from trading are used to support:

* Protocol development
* Treasury growth
* Strategic ecosystem grants
* Community and marketing efforts

All funds are held in a **transparent, multi-signature treasury** and governed by the community. Treasury usage is tracked on-chain and auditable by anyone.

### Time-Based Anti-Sniper Launch Mechanism

* Phase 1 (0-1min): 40% fee, 0.10% max wallet
* Phase 2 (1-5min): 30% fee, 0.15% max wallet
* Phase 3 (5-8min): 20% fee, 0.20% max wallet
* Phase 4 (8-15min): 10% fee, 0.30% max wallet
* Normal (15+min): 5% fee, no max wallet

***

### Strategic Vision

Treza’s trading fee model is simple, fair, and aligned with long-term sustainability:

* Starts at 5**%**
* Can be lowered, never raised
* Used to fund core protocol growth
* Fully governed and transparent

As adoption increases, `$TREZA` holders will have the power to reduce fees — ensuring that long-term users benefit from lower costs while early contributors help bootstrap the future of secure crypto execution.
