Transfer Fee Extension
💸 Transfer Fee Extension
The Transfer Fee extension lets you automatically charge a fee on every token transfer. This enables a sustainable and self-funded ecosystem for your token economy — no smart contract needed.
⚙️ How It Works
When this feature is enabled, a percentage of every token transfer is withheld automatically. This fee is stored in the recipient’s token account but cannot be accessed by them.
You define:
- Transfer Fee (%) – The percentage of tokens taken from each transfer
- Maximum Fee – The maximum number of tokens that can be withheld per transfer
- Fee Destination – Where you’ll later claim the collected fees
🔐 Security & Trust
NovaBlue automatically revokes the Transfer Fee Authority when your token is created.
This means nobody can ever modify the fee percentage or maximum cap after creation. Investors and users can trust that your token’s rules are immutable and transparent from day one.
Only the Withdraw Authority remains — it allows you to collect the withheld tokens, but never change how fees are applied.
🧾 Example
Let’s say you set a 2% transfer fee with a maximum fee of 50 tokens:
| Transfer Amount | Fee (%) | Max Fee | Actual Fee | Recipient Gets | Fee Pool |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 Tokens | 2% | 50 | 10 | 490 | 10 |
| 5,000 Tokens | 2% | 50 | 50 | 4,950 | 50 |
| 100,000 Tokens | 2% | 50 | 50 | 99,950 | 50 |
Tokens collected from fees accumulate on-chain and can be withdrawn at any time using NovaBlue’s dashboard.
🧩 How to Claim Fees
To collect the accumulated fees, go to the “Manage My Tokens” section in the NovaBlue dashboard.
From there, you can withdraw the withheld tokens to your own wallet — fully transparent, no hidden steps.
