BasedBot fees and cashback explained
Short answer: BasedBot has no subscription. Its documented platform fee is a flat 1% per trade, and 5%–25% of that fee can come back to you as cashback depending on your lifetime volume tier — so the platform cost after cashback is roughly 0.95% down to 0.75%. Network gas and any priority fee you set are separate.
Platform cost after cashback
| Tier | Lifetime volume | Cashback | Platform cost after cashback |
|---|---|---|---|
| ⬜️ · Novice | $0 – $999 | 5% | 0.95% |
| 🟨 · Advanced | $1K – $9.9K | 10% | 0.90% |
| 🟧 · Pro | $10K – $99.9K | 15% | 0.85% |
| 🟫 · Elite | $100K – $999K | 20% | 0.80% |
| ⬛️ · Legend | $1M+ | 25% | 0.75% |
These figures are the platform cost after eligible cashback only. They exclude gas, priority fees and slippage, and assume the cashback is actually credited and claimed.
Fee calculator
Cashback applies to the platform fee, not to the whole trade value, and is subject to BasedBot's own reward and claim conditions. Network gas, priority fees and slippage are not platform fees and are not included unless you enter them above.
What you actually pay per trade
- Platform fee: 1% of the trade value. A buy and a sell are separate transactions, so each one is charged.
- Cashback: 5–25% of that fee, credited in the chain's native token. Accrual and claiming are separate steps — the bot rewards documentation describes a minimum cashout threshold, while the web app describes per-chain claims, so check the surface you use.
- Gas & priority fee: set by the network and your own speed settings, not by BasedBot.
- Slippage: a tolerance you configure, not a fee that is automatically charged — but on thin liquidity it can cost more than the fee.
Referral earnings
BasedBot's public program pays referrers 25% of the fees generated by traders they invite. That is a reward for the referrer and is separate from the cashback a trader earns. See how the referral code works or the setup guide.
