Fee Schedule
Every fee DayKing charges, and exactly where it goes. These numbers are the on-chain constants — the app shows the applicable one inline before you confirm any transaction, and there is nothing else.
The Wedge — Live Fees
| What | DayKing fee | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Prophecy — trades | 0.30% | Charged on each buy/sell of a YES or NO share. 25% goes to the market creator (forever), 75% to the revenue treasury. Every trade withholds 5% of the fee in escrow for a jury: on a clean resolution it is returned to the creator, so the creator nets the full 25%; only if the market is disputed does the jury keep it and the creator net 20%. |
| Prophecy — market creation | Free | Anyone can create a market. Creators are paid out of the trade fee instead of paying an upfront listing fee. |
| PowerSol — round entry | 2% | A service fee to operate the round, and the only cut taken anywhere in PowerSol. It is a flat rake, not a house edge — the rate is a hardcoded constant with no setter, so it cannot be widened later no matter how large the game gets. The remaining 98% enters the vault pool: paid to winners, rolled into the next round, or banked into the Reward Reserve that backs the fixed rewards. DayKing never touches any of it — the program has no instruction that moves money out to anyone but a winner, and that includes the Reward Reserve. |
| PowerSol — winning a prize | Free | The prize you see is the prize you get. DayKing takes no cut of a win, withholds nothing, and deducts no tax. There is no claim fee and no hidden fee for winners. (What you owe your own tax authority is between you and them — we are not a withholding agent and do not report on your behalf.) |
| PowerSol — unclaimed rewards | Free | Nothing is taken for leaving a prize unclaimed. After 180 days an unclaimed reward expires back into the community vault and is paid out to future players — it never goes to DayKing. |
| PowerSol — standing entries | 2% per round | Exactly the same rate as buying by hand — a subscription is not priced differently. The prepaid balance sits in an escrow only your own account can spend, and cancelling returns every unspent token plus the account rent, at any time, with no gate. |
| Funding Vault — inflows | 2% | One flat rate across all three modes: donations, all-or-nothing crowdfunding, and creator subscriptions. Compare: GoFundMe 2.9% + $0.30 per donation, Kickstarter 5% + processing, Twitch 30–50%, YouTube 30%. |
| Funding Vault — creation | $1 in hyUSD | Flat anti-spam fee, identical for campaigns, crowdfunds, and subscription plans. Scales to the settlement mint’s decimals, so it is $1 regardless of token precision. |
| Referrals — your share | 5% | You earn 5% of the protocol fees paid by anyone you refer, deposited as real hyUSD into your reward vault at charge time — so a claim is always backed, never an IOU. Plus a 10% points bonus. |
| Shine Points — earn rate | 1 pt / 10K lamports | Not a fee: every fee you pay anywhere in the wedge mints points, CPI-verified on-chain. Seasons pay out pro-rata from a vault funded by the 25% community revenue share. |
| x402 machine payments | up to 10% | Facilitator fee, runtime-configurable up to a 10% hard cap. x402 is a fast-follow after the five launch-set programs. |
All fees settle in hyUSD, whose freeze authority is null. Fees are charged at the moment of the action — never deducted later from a balance, and never taken out of a payout, refund, or cancellation.
Where the Fee Goes — 25 / 25 / 25 / 25
Every fee across the wedge routes into one treasury account. dayking_revenue then splits it four ways with a permissionless, idempotent distribute() that anyone can crank — the split is validated on-chain to sum to 10,000 bps, so it cannot be quietly skewed.
Staff — 25%
Pays the people building and operating the protocol.
Innovation / Ops — 25%
Infrastructure, RPC, keepers, audits, and new product work.
Token reserve — 25%
Accrues to a reserve account that has no withdraw instruction at all.
Community — 25%
Funds the Shine Points season reward vaults — paid back to users.
The treasury is a program-derived address owned by the revenue router — not a wallet anyone can spend from directly. A quarter of everything you pay comes back to users through the community points pool.
Earning It Back
Points on every fee
Each fee mints 1 Shine Point per 10,000 lamports, recorded on-chain at charge time. Seasons pay out pro-rata from the 25% community share.
5% referral share
Refer someone and 5% of their protocol fees is deposited as real hyUSD into your reward vault as the fee is charged.
25% creator share
Ask a good question and you keep 25% of every trade fee on that market, for the life of the market. If the market ends up disputed, 5% of that goes to the jury that settles it.
Paying With Any Token
Every DayKing product settles in hyUSD — the stablecoin nobody can freeze — but you do not have to hold any. Pay with whatever token in your wallet has liquidity and it is swapped to hyUSD through Jupiter in the same transaction, immediately before the deposit. You choose the token at the moment you pay.
Jupiter does the swap
Routing and pricing come from Jupiter, which charges no protocol fee on this route. The quote you are shown is an estimate; the live route decides the final amount, and any leftover hyUSD stays in your wallet — it is never swept.
DayKing platform fee: 0.30%
Charged on the swap only, and only when you actually swap. Pay in hyUSD directly and there is nothing to charge — the fee does not exist on that path.
Swaps fund one transaction
The conversion exists to fund the thing you are doing right now — a PowerSol entry, a forecast, a donation. DayKing is not a swap venue and does not hold the proceeds.
If the swap lands but the deposit fails
The hyUSD is in your wallet, not lost. The app says so and offers the retry — the two steps are deliberately separate so a failure never strands funds somewhere you cannot reach.
What DayKing Never Charges
No exit fee
Prophecy claims, PowerSol payouts, crowdfund refunds, and subscription cancellations are free. There is no instruction anywhere in the wedge that can price or pause an exit.
No cut of a PowerSol win
The prize shown is the prize paid. DayKing takes nothing from a winner — no claim fee, no withholding, no tax deducted by us, nothing hidden.
No withdrawal or inactivity fee
Balances are held in your own accounts. Nothing decays, and nothing is skimmed for sitting still.
No spread markup
The fee is the fee. Prophecy markets are fully collateralized complete sets — DayKing does not take the other side of your trade.
No custody, so no custody fee
The protocol only ever holds market collateral, vault pools, and funding escrow — in a stablecoin nobody can freeze.
