Transfers between users and staking/unstaking are completely free. Only exchange trades and withdrawals have fees.

How Prices Work​

Unit Network uses an Automated Market Maker (AMM) model — similar to Uniswap:

  • Every token is paired with USDU
  • Prices adjust dynamically based on supply and demand in the liquidity pool
  • No order books — trades execute instantly against the pool
  • Larger trades relative to pool size will experience more price impact (slippage)
