Fee Structure
Transparency about fees is important. Here's exactly what you pay when using ORE Pump.
Platform Fee
Dynamic Fee Tiers
Platform fees scale based on when you place your bet during the round. Earlier bets pay less:
| Time Remaining | Fee Rate |
|---|---|
| More than 15s | 0.25% |
| 15 seconds | 0.50% |
| 12.5 seconds | 1.00% |
| 10 seconds | 1.50% |
| 7.5 seconds | 2.00% |
| 5 seconds | 2.50% |
| 2.5s or less | 3.00% |
Place your bets early in the round to lock in the lowest 0.25% fee rate. Waiting until the final seconds means paying up to 3%.
Minimum Fee
A minimum fee of $0.01 USD applies to all bets, regardless of the tier rate.
How it works:
actualFee = max(bidAmount × tierRate, $0.01 USD in SOL)
Example at $200 SOL:
| Bet Amount | Tier Rate | Calculated Fee | Min Fee | You Pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 SOL | 0.25% | $0.50 | $0.01 | $0.50 (0.25%) |
| 0.01 SOL | 0.25% | $0.005 | $0.01 | $0.01 |
| 0.001 SOL | 0.25% | $0.0005 | $0.01 | $0.01 |
| 0.0001 SOL | 0.25% | $0.00005 | $0.01 | $0.01 |
For small bets, you'll always pay the $0.01 minimum rather than a percentage.

Why Dynamic Fees?
The surge pricing during final seconds serves two purposes:
- Discourages last-second sniping - Gives early bettors a fair advantage
- Reduces network congestion - Spreads bets across the round instead of everyone rushing at the end
