# Fees and cashback

## Fee

The fee is **0.5% per side**, taken from what each side receives. It is already inside every number on the **Before you sign** panel. Your price limit and the order size limit are checked on the amount you actually receive.

## Cashback in $OFFCHART

Cashback does not come from the 0.5% trading fee. It is funded by the creator fees of the $OFFCHART token itself: **30% of the $OFFCHART creator fees** go to the cashback wallet. That SOL is used to buy $OFFCHART on the market, and the purchased $OFFCHART is credited to traders. 30% of the $OFFCHART creator fees fund cashback and the referral program (up to 10% of each purchase goes to the referral reserve). Cashback starts after the $OFFCHART token launches. Only tokens actually bought from these fees are distributed, so amounts are not guaranteed. Before launch, the Cashback page says so and shows nothing to claim:

![Cashback page before the token exists. Example of the idle state.](https://3108583804-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FcSrGADlnE1BZdVcxVqCd%2Fuploads%2F3PZgHH1JlcOFW7331ir0%2F29-cashback-idle-desktop.png?alt=media)

* Until the token launches nothing is counted, and no launch date or amount is promised.
* When active, the page shows your share for the current cycle, a holder bonus where it applies, and a **Claim** button.

## Referral program

Invite friends with your link (`useoffchart.xyz/r/<code>`, in the wallet menu → **Invite friends**). A wallet that connects for the first time through your link stays linked to you. You earn **20% of our fee** on every swap your invitees make, counted in SOL and paid out in $OFFCHART at market price. Claim in $OFFCHART on the referral page: your whole balance is converted at the market price, from 0.01 SOL of earnings, and you pay the network fee.
