OTO Fees

OTO Fees

OTO incentivizes community builders, rewards long-term investors, and discourages day-trading speculators and whales who dump. This guide on OTO Fees describes how OTO Fees work together to achieve these goals.

Sell Fee

OTO discourages excessive speculation.

Whether you sell OTO through the optimized Sell Page or through any swap site, the OTO smart contract will charge a 5.0% fee on the sell transaction.

For example, if you are selling 100.0 OTO, the OTO smart contract will charge a 5.0 OTO fee. This is in addition to any fees charged by PancakeSwap.

You must therefore have at least 105 OTO in your address to successfully sell 100 OTO. Your transaction will fail if that is not the case.

Sell Fee Distribution

As a core feature, OTO uses fees collected from sellers to incentivize HODLers who stake (OTO Staking Guide) to show long-term commitment, to reward referrers (OTO Referral Guide), and to accumulate OTO liquidity (OTO Cumulative Liquidity). The table below shows how the sell fee is divided up for each purpose:

Referral Rewards

Staking Rewards

Cumulative Burn

Seller has a referrer

Total 3.0%

2.0% to direct referrer

1.0% to indirect referrer

1.5%

0.5%

Seller is not referred

0.0%

4.5%

0.5%

Buy Fee

OTO rewards referrers each time their referred users buy from the OTO Buy Page. To encourage referred users to seek out a referrer and to buy from the OTO Buy Page only, the Buy Fee is lowered to 0.3% when a buyer has a referrer and buys from the OTO Buy Page. When a buyer does not have a referrer OR is buying from another swap (i.e. PancakeSwap), the buy fee is 0.5%.

Examples:

  • A buyer with no referrer buys 1000 OTO from the OTO Buy Page. The buyer will receive 995 OTO.

  • A referred buyer buys 1000 OTO from the OTO Buy Page. The buyer will receive 997 OTO.

  • A buyer buys 1000 OTO from PancakeSwap directly. Whether the buyer is referred or not, the buyer will receive 995 OTO.

So, it is always better to have a referrer. See OTO Referral Guide. It is also important to buy OTO from the OTO Buy Page if you want to take advantage of the lower 0.3% Buy Fee. Buying from any other swap will result in a 0.5% fee even if you have a referrer.

Buy Fee Distribution

OTO distributes 100% of buy fees to a buyer’s referrers. When a buyer has no referrer, all buy fees go to the OTO stakers.

Fee for OTO Transfers

Unless transferring to a whitelisted address, an OTO transfer is considered the same as a sell.

The transferor (person who sends out the transfer) will be charged a 5.0% transfer fee that is the same as a sell fee. See OTO Sell Fee.

Examples:

  • Address 1 has 1000 OTO and tries to send all to Address 2. This will fail. Address 1 needs at least 1050 OTO to send to Address 2.

  • Address 1 has 1050 OTO and tries to send 1000 OTO to Address 2. This will succeed. Address 1 will have 0 OTO left. Address 2 will receive 1000 OTO.

Fee for OTO Airdrops

Creating an OTO airdrop is considered the same as a sell for fee purposes.

This is to prevent using airdrops to circumvent the 5.0% sell fee. The contributor (person who launches an airdrop) will be charged a 5.0% fee that is the same as a sell fee. See OTO Sell Fee.

Examples:

  • Address 1 has 1000 OTO and tries to create a 1000 OTO airdrop for Address 2. This will fail. Address 1 needs at least 1050 OTO to create a 1000 OTO airdrop for Address 2.

  • Address 1 has 1050 OTO and tries to create a 1000 OTO airdrop for Address 2. This will succeed. Address 1 will have 0 OTO left. Address 2 can claim 1000 OTO from the airdrop.

Fee for OTO Liquidity Supply/Withdrawal

There is no fee to supply or withdraw OTO liquidity.

It is important to supply or withdraw liquidity from the OTO Liquidity Page only.

If you perform OTO liquidity supply or withdrawal anywhere else (i.e. PancakeSwap), you will be charged a 5.0% transfer fee.
