# 💵 Monetization

Successful transactions through the Maestro Sniper Bot (manually or automatically) will be charged a 1% tax on every buy and sell. Simple transfers are NOT taxed.

### Fee Extraction Mechanism

#### _**Solana**_

Fees will be directly extracted in the same transaction.

#### _**Other Chains**_

The bot will NOT take the 1% directly from each transaction. It simply accumulates how much you owe us, and doesn't extract any fees until you accumulate more than 0.01 units of the chain's native coin (e.g. ETH on Ethereum, BNB on BSC, AVAX on Avalanche) or 0.5 TON. The extracted fees will never be lower than that minimum, and never higher than 10% of your highest wallet balance.

The fees accumulate per telegram account, **NOT** per wallet, and the bot will always extract the fee from the wallet with the **highest balance** in the concerned chain. The sniper will deal with this silently, and you can always verify your trading volume by checking your block explorer.

All unpaid fees accumulated up to June 12th, 2023 were [completely forgiven](https://t.me/MaestroSniperUpdates/160), giving all users a chance to start fresh.

### Fee Addresses

The following are the addresses to which the fees will be sent. Whenever you find a transfer made from your wallet to one of these addresses, this would be a fee payment to the bot.
