Fees
Drop charges zero platform fees on nearly every action. The exceptions are Solana swaps and perps. Everything else costs you only the standard blockchain network fee — and even that is covered for Premium members on Solana.

Swap Fees
| Swap Type | Platform Fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Solana swap | 0.8% | Charged in the token you receive, via the Jupiter route |
| Cross-Chain Swap | 0% | No Drop fee — only the exchange provider's network costs |
- The 0.8% Solana swap fee is shown in the swap details before you confirm, so you always see it up front.
- Premium members pay no platform fee on Solana swaps. The fee is left out of the quote itself, so the rate you see is already the better one.
- Cross-chain swaps (swapping between different chains, e.g. BTC → SOL) carry no Drop platform fee. You only pay the deposit and withdrawal network fees charged by the exchange provider, which are shown in the quote.
Network Fees
Network fees (gas) are paid to the blockchain, not to Drop. The cost depends on the chain:

| Bitcoin | ~$0.50–$5+ |
