# Fees

### **Protocol Fees:** 

To support the growth of the protocol’s TVL, DefiTuna currently does not charge any fees to lenders.\
Instead, protocol fees are charged to users who open Liquidity Provision (LP) positions, as a one-time fee applied when the position is opened or closed.\
Fees vary by pool and can be viewed in the [**Provide Liquidity**](https://defituna.com/lp) tab at the top of the page, next to the pool statistics, by hovering over the **Protocol Fee** toggle.

The fee structure consists of four components:

* **Collateral fee**: Applied to your collateral, i.e., the funds you have deposited. Currently, this fee is 0% on DefiTuna pools and remains minor on Orca pools.
* **Borrowed funds fee**: Applied to the funds you borrow as leverage.
* **Lower/Upper** [**trigger order**](/dive-into-defituna/provide-liquidity/platform-info/trigger-orders.md) **fee**: Charged per successful trigger order. This is a one-time fee applied to the notional value of the position when the trigger order is executed.
* [**Liquidation**](/dive-into-defituna/provide-liquidity/platform-info/liquidations.md) **fee**: In the event of liquidation, a 10% fee is applied to the notional value of the position, including any unclaimed fees. This fee is paid to the liquidator who carries out the liquidation.

### **Opening a Position Fee**

DefiTuna charges a **refundable** deposit when opening a position. This amount is returned upon closing the position. The amount of the refundable fee is about **0.02 SOL**.

### [**Compound**](/dive-into-defituna/provide-liquidity/platform-info/compound.md) **Fee**

The fee structure follows the same model as the Protocol Fees. \
Therefore, fees depend on the pool you're compounding into.\
\
**Example 1 — Reduce leverage:**\
You are compounding $1,000 of yield into an open DefiTuna SOL/USDC liquidity pool position.\
Protocol fee for this pool is 0% on margin and 0.05% on borrowed funds.\
$$1000 \* 0.00 =$0$$ \
Total fee = $0\
\
**Example 2 — Keep leverage:**\
You are compounding $1000 of yield, along with $2000 of borrowed tokens, back into the same SOL/USDC pool.\
With a 3x leverage, the total amount is $3000.\
$$ $1000 + $2000 $$  \
$$1000 \* 0.00 =$0$$   \
$$2000 \* 0.0005 = $1$$  \
Total fee = $1.00
