Fees & Management
Understanding Fees
EMPX uses a transparent fee structure to maintain the platform and incentivize order execution.
Fee Types
| Fee Type | Paid To | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Protocol Fee | EMPX Protocol | Sustains platform development and maintenance. |
| Bot Fee | Executor Bots | Incentivizes bots to execute your order immediately when price targets are met. |
| Router Fee | Liquidity Providers | Standard swap fees paid to DEXs (Uniswap, etc.) for using their pools. |
Dynamic Router Fees
Router fees adjust based on the risk level of your trading pair:
- Volatile-Volatile Pairs: Higher fee (e.g., WETH/WBTC) because price volatility creates more execution risk.
- Stable Pairs: Lower fee (e.g., WETH/USDC) because stablecoin pairs have less price risk.
Total Cost Example
Example: Selling 1 WETH for USDC
- Amount In: 1 WETH
- Target: $3,000
- Fees: ~0.3% total (deducted from output)
- You Receive: ~$2,991 USDC
(Plus gas fees depending on network congestion, paid separately during order creation)
Managing Your Orders
Order Status
Your orders can have five different statuses:
- Open: Active and waiting for price target.
- Partially Filled: Some tokens executed, remaining amount still active.
- Filled: 100% executed. Tokens sent to your wallet.
- Cancelled: You stopped the order. Unfilled tokens returned.
- Expired: Deadline passed. Order stopped. Tokens returned.
Cancelling Orders
You can cancel any active or partially filled order at any time:
- Navigate to your orders list.
- Find the order you want to cancel.
- Click “Cancel Order”.
- Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
- Your unfilled tokens will be returned to your wallet.
Note: For partially filled orders, you only get back the unfilled portion. The filled portion has already been converted to your output token and sent to your wallet.
