Swap fee
Every swap deducts 0.35% from the input token before the trade executes against the pool. Example: You swap 1,000 VARA for another token.- Fee: 1,000 × 0.0035 = 3.5 VARA
- Amount used to buy: 996.5 VARA
How fees accrue to liquidity providers
When you provide liquidity to a pool, you receive LP tokens representing your proportional share of that pool’s reserves. Fees are not paid out immediately. Instead, they are added directly to the pool’s reserves. As fees accumulate, each LP token represents a slightly larger share of the total reserves over time.Deposit tokens
You add token X and token Y to a pool in equal value. You receive LP tokens in return.
Fees accumulate
Every swap against that pool adds 0.35% to the reserves. Your LP tokens grow in value with every trade.
No gas fees
Vara Network’s architecture means you do not pay a separate gas cost when swapping on RivrDEX. The 0.35% swap fee is the only cost of a trade.This is one of the core advantages of building on Vara. Traditional EVM chains charge gas on top of swap fees. On RivrDEX, what you see is what you pay.
