# Platform Fees and $SEED Perks

<mark style="color:red;">**Disclaimer: These platform fees are current as of October 2025. Once position rebalancing is fully released with Starseed Automate, we will introduce a subscription service.**</mark> &#x20;

This page explains how platform fees work on Starseed during the current Closed Beta, what will change at Public Release, and what to expect once subscription-based features are introduced — including utility and perks available for $SEED token holders.

## <mark style="color:orange;">Beta Fee Structure</mark> <mark style="color:red;">(We Are Here)</mark>

During the Starseed Automate beta, the goal is to validate performance, gather feedback, and ensure stable scaling of automation bots across multiple strategies.

During Closed Beta:

* Activating an automation bot costs 0.004 SOL
* Starseed charges 0% platform fees on Meteora DLMM earnings
* Users may run up to three active bots at a time
* All currently available automation strategies are included (SL/TP, ScaleOut, Auto-Exit)
* No subscription is required

This introductory pricing will end when Starseed Automate ends beta testing and fully releases to the public.

## <mark style="color:orange;">Public Release Fee Structure</mark>

Once Starseed Automate is publicly released, the following platform fee model will apply:

* Activating an automation bot costs 0.006 SOL; this fee is waived if you hold at least 500,000 $SEED in the wallet that you use to connect to Starseed
* Starseed charges 4% platform fees on DLMM earnings and a 0.5% referral tax on Jupiter swaps
* Users may run up to three active bots at a time
* All currently available automation strategies are included (SL/TP, ScaleOut, Auto-Exit)
* No subscription is required

Note: Platform Fees apply only to the DLMM earnings generated through Starseed (either manually managed or automated positions), not to your deposited liquidity or position size. For example, if you created a DLMM position with 10 SOL of liquidity, earned 5 SOL in overall profit, and generated 1 SOL in DLMM fees, Starseed would charge a 4% platform fee only on the 1 SOL that you earned in DLMM fees (4% of 1 SOL = 0.04 SOL tax).

This platform fee model will stay in effect until advanced automation strategies are released in Q4 2025.

## <mark style="color:orange;">Coming Soon: Starseed Platform Access, Fee, and Subscription Structure</mark>

Once advanced automation strategies are introduced, such as DLMM position rebalancing, Starseed will replace its platform fee model with a subscription tier system.

This tier system ensures that any trader can use the Starseed Dashboard and standard Starseed Automate features, while providing a way for subscribers and $SEED holders to unlock additional resources and advanced Starseed Automate features.

Free access includes:

* Full access to the Starseed Dashboard
* Access to one automation bot with basic strategies (i.e., ScaleOut, Stop Loss/Take Profit, Auto-Exit)
* A flat 0.006 SOL tax to activate an automation bot
* A 4% platform tax on DLMM earnings generated via Starseed
* A 0.5% referral tax on Jupiter swaps

Users can unlock premium features either by purchasing a monthly subscription or by holding $SEED in the wallet they use to connect to Starseed.
