# LSD Fee

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Current fees (explicit)

* **Staking (minting stCHR): 0.3%**
  * Applied to the CHR amount at the time you stake.\
    Net stCHR minted = CHR\_staked \* (1 - 0.003) (subject to rounding according to token decimals).
* **Unstaking (redeeming stCHR → CHR): 0.3%**
  * Applied to the gross CHR value you would receive at redemption (i.e., after exchange rate conversion).\
    Final CHR delivered = Gross\_CHR \* (1 - 0.003).
    {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Examples

<details>

<summary>Example A — Staking fee</summary>

* You stake **1,000 CHR**.
* Mint fee = 1,000 \* 0.003 = **3 CHR**.
* Net stCHR minted = **997 stCHR** (assuming 1:1 initial rate and simple rounding).

</details>

<details>

<summary>Example B — Unstake fee (with a non-1 exchange rate)</summary>

* You redeem **1,000 stCHR** at exchange rate **1 stCHR = 1.05 CHR**.
* Gross CHR = 1,000 \* 1.05 = **1,050 CHR**.
* Unstake fee = 1,050 \* 0.003 = **3.15 CHR**.
* Net CHR after unbonding = **1,046.85 CHR**.

</details>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Why these fees exist

* Cover network & gas costs.
* Build protocol treasury and liquidity buffers.
* Provide funds for insurance/compensation in edge cases or to incentivize liquidity providers.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Where fees appear in UI

Before you confirm a stake or redeem, the Udon UI shows:

* Fee amount in CHR (and sometimes %).
* Net token amount you will receive (stCHR when staking; CHR after redemption).
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://udonfi-1.gitbook.io/udonfi-docs/liquid-staking/lsd-fee.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
