In the dynamic world of cryptocurrency trading, transaction fees are a critical factor. They can impact profitability, especially for active traders. At Wink, we've developed a fee structure that not only starts competitive but also progressively rewards our most engaged community members, creating a pathway to significantly lower, and even zero, trading fees.

Starting with Competitive Rates: Our 0.5% Base Fee

Wink's standard transaction fee is 0.5%. This rate is already substantially lower than the 1% (or higher) fees often seen with other trading tools in the Solana ecosystem, offering an immediate cost advantage to all our users. But our commitment to providing value extends further.

Immediate Savings Through Referrals

We believe in the power of community growth. New users who join Wink through a valid referral link receive an instant 10% discount on our standard fee. This means they begin trading at a reduced rate of just 0.45%. It’s a straightforward way to provide immediate value to newcomers while encouraging the organic expansion of the Wink community.

Progressive NFT Benefits: The Path to Lower Fees

A cornerstone of our community-driven approach is the discount system linked to our Wink Genesis NFTs. We've designed this to offer increasing benefits to those who are invested in the Wink ecosystem:

• Each Wink Genesis NFT held by a user provides an additional 10% reduction on their applicable trading fee.
• These NFT discounts stack. For example, holding 3 Wink Genesis NFTs grants a 30% fee reduction.
• Holders of 10 or more Wink Genesis NFTs achieve the maximum benefit: a 100% fee discount, allowing them to trade completely fee-free on Wink.

This system directly rewards long-term supporters and collectors within our community.

The Wink Advantage: Smart Discount Stacking Explained

What makes Wink's fee structure particularly compelling is how these discounts combine. The referral discount and the NFT-based discounts are applied sequentially for maximum user benefit.

Here’s how it works:

1. If a user joins through a referral, their base fee is first reduced by 10% (from 0.5% to 0.45%).
2. Any NFT-based discounts are then applied to this already reduced rate.

For example, a user who joins via referral (fee becomes 0.45%) and also holds 3 Wink Genesis NFTs (granting an additional 30% discount) will have their final fee calculated as follows:0.45%×(1−0.30)=0.45%×0.70=0.315%

This "smart stacking" ensures that multiple forms of engagement with Wink lead to increasingly better fee rates.

Examples of Our Fee Structure in Action:

• Regular User (no referral, no NFTs): 0.5%
• Referred User (no NFTs): 0.45%
• User with 3 Wink Genesis NFTs (no referral): 0.5%×(1−0.30)=0.35%
• Referred User who also holds 3 Wink Genesis NFTs: 0.45%×(1−0.30)=0.315%
• User with 10+ Wink Genesis NFTs (referred or not): 0% (Fee-free trading!)

Why This Community-First Approach Benefits You

This progressive and stackable discount system is designed with several key objectives:

• Immediate Competitive Edge: Our low 0.5% base fee ensures all users start with an advantage.
• Fostering Community Growth: The referral system incentivizes users to introduce others to Wink, with clear benefits for both.
• Encouraging Long-Term Engagement: The NFT-based discounts reward users who are actively involved and invested in the Wink ecosystem.
• Rewarding Loyalty: The ultimate path to zero-fee trading is a testament to our commitment to our most dedicated community members.

By aligning our fee structure with community participation and investment, Wink has created a system where the most engaged users progressively pay less, turning the traditional fee model on its head.
