Fee Structure

Incentivized Duration. Protocol-Powered Price Growth.

The UPONLY fee structure is designed to reward long-term holders, strengthen liquidity, and drive the price up with every single transaction.


🔁 How Fees Work

Each buy or sell transaction is subject to a Buy Fee and a Sell Fee, depending on the duration selected. These fees are distributed as follows:

  • A portion is allocated to:

    • Platform Share

    • Referral Rewards

    • Founder Pool

  • The remaining majority is retained by the Uponly USDC Liquidity Pool, which is what powers UP's upward price movement.

Because more USDC is added to the pool (relative to the number of UP tokens minted or burned), the price always goes up — whether you buy or sell.


Below you can see the total fees charged for a full transaction cycle which means buying and selling.

💥 Why This Matters

  • Fee redistribution grows the USDC Liquidity Pool, which powers UP's price

  • Because fees are collected on both buys and sells, the price increases in both directions


🧠 Key Takeaways

Every fee paid strengthens the system — creating a sustainable, self-reinforcing loop that rewards participation and drives the UP token’s price forward.
