FEES & GAS SPONSORSHIP

One fee. Gas on us. Nothing hidden.

Cove collects a single platform fee per trade and sponsors gas so small trades stay possible and failed transactions stay rare. DEX pool fees go to liquidity providers, never to Cove.

Sells

Flat rate, no minimum fee. Sells from $0.50.

Solana sells use their own tiered floor so tiny positions still cost around $0.25 to exit — see the Solana tab.
GAS SPONSORSHIP

Up to $5 of gas on every action.

Buys, sells, withdrawals and transfers are each sponsored up to $5. On buys the platform fee offsets it. When the network wants more than the cap, Cove shows the surplus and waits for your approval — decline and the trade is rejected before it touches the chain.

The fee absorbs the gas, so no surplus prompt. If gas were higher than the fee, you'd see a Pay $X prompt first. Set a per-trade budget in Settings → Gas Surplus Budget to skip the prompt for small amounts.
PASS-THROUGH COSTS

Infrastructure costs Cove doesn't keep

~$0.19

EVM deposit bridge fee

Deducted from inbound EVM deposits that must be bridged into the unified balance. Covers the provider's bridging and account-creation cost.

~$0.36

Solana rent deposit

One-time, per token per recipient, on withdrawals and transfers to a wallet that has never held that token. Existing accounts cost nothing.

0.01–1%

DEX pool fees

Each swap leg pays the venue (Uniswap, Jupiter, DFlow…). Baked into your output amount and paid to liquidity providers, not Cove.

Auto-bridge consolidation
Cove-initiated routing between chains. Treated as infrastructure, not a trade.
