🔗 TON blockchain network fee

The network fee consists of several components and is calculated based on many factors: the size and content of the transaction, network conditions, processing time, and so on.

💡 Important: The exact fee cannot be predicted in advance. This is why most services reserve an amount with a buffer and return the remainder to the user once the transaction is complete.

On Storm Trade, opening a position charges around ~0.25 TON, of which ~0.17 TON is returned to the user's wallet.

📐 Network fee formula:

$$Transaction Fee = Storage Fees + In Fwd Fees + Computation Fees + Action Fees + Out Fwd Fees$$

Component	Description
storage_fees	Payment for storing the smart contract on the blockchain when sending/receiving a transaction
in_fwd_fees	Fee for delivering incoming external messages
computation_fees	Payment for executing code in the TVM virtual machine
action_fees	Payment for performing actions in the smart contract body
out_fwd_fees	Payment for sending outgoing internal messages

⚙️ Storm Trade protocol fee

The platform fee is charged when opening and closing a position and is deducted automatically from your collateral.

📊 The fee depends on the trading pair:

• 💰 For USDT pairs — from 0.06% to 0.12%

• 💎 For TON/NOT pairs — from 0.12% to 0.2%

• 💵 For Forex pairs — 0.06%

• 🪙 For Gold — 0.08%

💡 Example: Opening a 100 USDT position with 10x leverage on a USDT pair: 100 * 10 * 0.0012 = 1.2 USDT will be charged as a fee.

🕒 Funding

Funding Fee is a recurring (hourly) payment between traders holding opposite positions, used in perpetual futures trading.

🔁 How funding works:

• If most traders go long and funding turns positive:

  • 💸 Long traders pay, short traders receive.

• If shorts dominate the market and funding turns negative:

  • 💸 Short traders pay, long traders receive.

📌 Funding helps balance supply and demand in the perpetual futures market.
