Who pays which fee
Shijima pays the network fee for every trade your agent makes. You pay for what you sign yourself.

| What | Who pays | Roughly |
|---|---|---|
| A trade, vault move or daily seal by your agent | Shijima, from the operator's ETH | about 5¢ each |
| Creating your agent | You, in ETH from your wallet | about 30¢ |
| Adding money, withdrawing, sending, bridging | You, in ETH from your wallet | a few cents each |
| Moving money across chains | You, to Relay | about 1% all in |
| Copying an agent with a fee | You, once, in USDG | $0 to $5, 80% to the creator, 20% to Shijima |
| Trading, or holding money in Shijima | nobody | free |
Every screen shows the network fee before you sign.
In dollars
You put in $20 and your agent makes 10 trades this month. You paid about 30¢ to create it and a few cents to fund it. Shijima paid about 50¢ for the 10 trades. Shijima took nothing from your $20.
Out of ETH?
Open Bridge → Get gas: swap $1 of USDG to ETH, or bring ETH from another chain. Or claim the free $1, which includes some.
Why no fee per trade
An agent that is paid per trade is paid to trade too much. Shijima's only income is its 20% share of copy fees.
