🔗 TON Blockchain Network Fee

The network fee consists of several components and is calculated based on various factors such as transaction size, content, network state, and execution time.

💡 Note: It's difficult to predict the exact amount of the network fee in advance. That's why many services temporarily reserve a higher amount and refund the unused portion after the transaction is complete.

On Storm Trade, approximately ~0.25 TON is deducted when opening a position. ~0.17 TON is usually refunded back to the user’s wallet after execution.

📐 Network Fee Calculation Formula:

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

Component	Description
storage_fees	Fee for storing the smart contract in the blockchain when sending/receiving
in_fwd_fees	Fee for delivering inbound external messages
computation_fees	Fee for executing code in the TON Virtual Machine (TVM)
action_fees	Fee for executing smart contract actions
out_fwd_fees	Fee for sending outbound internal messages

⚙️ Storm Trade Protocol Fee

This fee is charged when opening and closing a position and is automatically deducted from the margin amount.

📊 Fee rates depend on the trading pair:

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

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

💡 Example: If you open a 100 USDT position with 10x leverage in a USDT pair: 100 * 10 * 0.0012 = 1.2 USDT will be charged as a trading fee.

🕒 Funding

Funding refers to hourly payments between traders on opposite sides of the market, commonly used in perpetual futures trading.

🔁 How funding works:

• If Market Price > Index Price, funding is positive:

  • 💸 Long traders pay, and Short traders receive funding.

  • This means there's more long open interest on the market.

• If Market Price < Index Price, funding is negative:

  • 💸 Short traders pay, and Long traders receive funding.

  • This indicates a larger short open interest.

📌 Funding helps maintain the balance between supply and demand in perpetual futures markets.
