How Wink Saves You 50% (And MORE!) on Trading Fees

When trading cryptocurrencies on Solana, particularly in fast-moving markets, understanding the cost structure is essential for managing profitability. Trading fees, though often small on a per-trade basis, can accumulate and impact overall returns. This post explains Wink's fee structure and how it compares, along with additional mechanisms available to Wink users for further fee reductions.

TL;DR:

  • Wink's standard trading fee is 0.5%, which is 50% lower than the 1% fee common among many Solana trading bots.
  • Additional Fee Reduction Opportunities:
    • Wink Genesis NFTs: Holders receive a 10% fee discount for each NFT, up to a 100% discount with 10 NFTs.
    • Referral Program: Referrers can earn up to 35% of the trading fees from users they refer (structured over 5 layers). Referred users receive a 10% discount on Wink's standard 0.5% fee, paying 0.45%.
  • Wink prioritizes cost-effective trading and efficient execution for Solana users.

The Impact of Trading Fees on Profitability

Most trading activities involve a fee, typically a percentage of the transaction value. For active traders, these fees can become a significant factor. A common fee model for many Solana Telegram trading bots is 1% per trade. This means for a complete trade cycle (a buy and a sell), 2% of the capital involved might be allocated to fees, irrespective of the trade's outcome.

Wink's Standard Fee: A 0.5% Starting Point

Wink approaches trading fees with a focus on cost-effectiveness for the user.

Our standard trading fee is a flat 0.5% per transaction.

This rate is 50% lower than the 1% fee charged by numerous other Solana Telegram trading bots. This fundamental difference means that, from the outset, Wink users retain a larger portion of their trading capital compared to using platforms with higher standard fees.

Beyond the Standard: Additional Fee Reduction Mechanisms in Wink

Beyond our 0.5% standard fee, Wink incorporates features that provide opportunities for users to reduce their trading costs even further:

  1. Fee Discounts with Wink Genesis NFTs: Holders of Wink Genesis NFTs benefit from direct discounts on their trading fees. The structure is straightforward:


    • Each Wink Genesis NFT held provides a 10% discount on trading fees.
    • This discount is stackable. For example, holding 5 NFTs grants a 50% discount.
    • Holding 10 Wink Genesis NFTs results in a 100% discount, enabling fee-free trading on Wink. This feature is designed to offer tangible value to members of the Wink community who hold these NFTs.
  2. The Wink Referral Program: Wink has a referral program designed to benefit both the referrer and the referred user, structured similarly to Trojan's system:


    • For Referrers: You can earn up to 35% of the trading fees paid by users who sign up through your referral link. The program is structured with 5 layers of referrals, meaning you can also earn from the network effect of your initial referrals.
    • For Referred Users: New users who join Wink via a referral link receive an immediate 10% discount on our standard 0.5% fee. Consequently, they trade at a reduced rate of 0.45%.
    • Rewards from the referral program are distributed in SOL, offering a way to offset trading costs or generate passive income.

The Cumulative Effect on Trading Costs

The availability of these fee reduction mechanisms means Wink users have several avenues to lower their trading expenses:

  • The baseline 0.5% fee already presents a significant reduction compared to typical 1% fee models.
  • NFT ownership offers a path to substantially discounted, or even free, trading.
  • The referral program provides earnings for referrers and an even lower entry fee rate for new users they introduce.

These options allow traders to select the most suitable way to manage their costs based on their activity level and engagement with the Wink ecosystem.
