# Fees

> Understand the fee structure for swaps and yield strategies on Pods

Pods charges transparent fees on swaps and yield strategies. This page covers the platform fees and how you can add your own markup fees as an integrator.

## Platform Fees

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Swap Fee" icon="arrows-rotate">
    **25 BPS** (0.25%) applied on every swap transaction, both same-chain and cross-chain.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Yield Performance Fee" icon="chart-line">
    **5% performance fee** charged on exit from yield positions. This fee is only applied to the profits earned, not the principal.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Fee Fields in API Responses

When you query strategies via `GET /strategies` or `GET /strategies/:id`, each strategy object includes fee-related fields:

| Field               | Type   | Description                                                                                   |
| ------------------- | ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `fee`               | string | Entry fee in **basis points** (e.g., `"0"` = 0.00%, `"25"` = 0.25%). Configured per customer. |
| `performanceFeeBps` | string | Performance fee in **basis points**, charged on profits at withdrawal (e.g., `"500"` = 5%).   |

### Swap quotes (`GET /v2/swap/quote`)

Every persisted quote includes **`feeBreakdown`** — the canonical source for all quote-time fees (Pods platform fee, customer markup, and bridge/spread impact). See [Get a Quote](/guides/swaps/get-quote) for the response shape and field reference.

<Info>
  Both fields are strings representing basis points (1 BPS = 0.01%). These values may vary per customer based on your integrator agreement.
</Info>

## Fee Stacking

Pods fees are charged **on top of** any underlying protocol fees (e.g., Aave's own protocol fees). The total cost to the end user is:

> **Protocol fees** + **Pods platform fees** + **Your integrator markup** (if configured)

## Markup Fees

As an integrator, you can add your own markup fees on top of the platform fees to monetize your integration.

| Fee Type                     | Description                                                                              |
| ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Swap Markup**              | Additional BPS added on top of the 25 BPS platform fee for swap transactions             |
| **Yield Performance Markup** | Additional performance fee percentage added on top of the 5% platform fee on yield exits |

<Info>
  Markup fees are currently configured through the admin panel. A self-service API endpoint for managing markup fees is planned for a future release. Contact us at **[support@pods.finance](mailto:support@pods.finance)** to set up your custom markup fees.
