# Fees

Stazys uses a transparent fee structure. Performance fees are only charged on profits, and we take a small share of protocol interaction fees to ensure sustainable and reliable strategies execution.

### Stazys Fees

| Fee Type                  | Amount                        | When Charged                              | Reclaimable?                |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | --------------------------- |
| **Transaction Fee Share** | 10% of others protocol's fees | On strategy execution                     | No                          |
| **Performance Fee Share** | 20% of manager fee            | On profit generation (public vaults only) | No                          |
| **Redeem Fee**            | 0.1%                          | On withdrawal                             | No (redistributed to vault) |

**Transaction fee share** incentivizes efficient strategy designs; strategies that minimize unnecessary protocol interactions reduce costs for everyone. Fees collected supports platform development, team expansion, and continuous improvements to the Stazys ecosystem while keeping costs aligned with actual ressources usage.

**Performance fees are only charged on profits.** For public vaults, managers set a 10-20% performance fee, and Stazys receives 25% of that fee. The 0.1% mint/redeem fee is redistributed back into the vault to benefit all shareholders.

### Additional Costs

| Cost Type                            | Amount                                 | When Charged            | Reclaimable?               |
| ------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------- | ----------------------- | -------------------------- |
| **Vault Creation**                   | One-time on-chain fee                  | Vault creation          | Yes (on vault close)       |
| **Strategy/Token accounts Creation** | One-time on-chain fee (size-dependent) | Strategy addition       | Yes (on strategy removal)  |
| **Transaction Fee Buffer**           | Dynamic (part of vault assets)         | Maintained continuously | Yes (part of vault assets) |

**Vault and strategy creation fees** are one-time on-chain costs for creating PDA accounts. These are fully reclaimable when you close your vault or remove strategies.

**Transaction fee buffer** is a dynamic reserve that covers transaction fees. It's automatically adjusted and rebalanced by the protocol. The buffer is part of the vault's total assets, included in Price Per Share calculations, and returned on withdrawal.

**Stazys do not take deposit or withdrawal fees, you can move your fund freely.**
