Fees you can read.
One fee, paid by the buyer: 0.50% on top of the agreed price. The seller receives exactly the price they asked for.

What’s free
- Launching a market: no listing fee.
- Posting, editing by cancelling and re-posting, and cancelling offers.
- Reclaiming an expired offer’s escrow.
Every action that writes to the chain costs a little ETH in gas, paid to the network, not to Swapmeet. A reverted transaction can still cost gas.
The fine print
Founding markets. Registry markets #1 to #25 keep 100% of collected fees, permanently. The slot is decided by on-chain registration order. 7 of 25 are left.
Rounding. Amounts settle in whole token units and wei. Fees are rounded cumulatively per offer, so a series of partial fills adds up to the same total as one big fill.
Buy offers. A buy offer deposits the price plus the maximum fee. If the final fee is lower, the unused part is refunded automatically when the offer completes or is cancelled.
The quote is the truth. Before you sign, Swapmeet asks the exchange contract for the exact amounts of your trade. That quote is what settles.
Network gas is paid separately by whoever sends the transaction. The exact amounts are quoted by the contract before you sign.
Illustration. Earnings depend on real completed trades and arrive in the same transaction as each trade.
