Fees & costs

What it costs to use Super9MM, and when automation is worth it.

Super9MM is non-custodial, so most of what you pay is normal on-chain cost, not a platform markup.

What you pay

• Network gas. Deploying your Automator (once), opening a position, and each keeper action (rebalance, compound, close) costs gas on the chain you're using. On low-fee chains this is small; it still adds up if a tight range rebalances very often.
• DEX swap fees & slippage. When an automation needs to swap (e.g. to hit the right token ratio on a rebalance, or to close to a single token), you pay the DEX's fee and a little slippage on that swap.
• The pool's fee tier is what you earn as an LP — not a cost. Higher-volume pools at a healthy fee tier are what make LPing worthwhile.

When automation is worth it

Automation pays off when the extra fees it captures exceed the costs it incurs:

• ✅ Worth it: liquid, high Fee/TVL pools where staying in range and compounding clearly out-earns the occasional rebalance.
• ⚠️ Marginal: tiny positions, very stable pairs that rarely move, or thin pools where each rebalance is relatively expensive.

If a position is small or a pair barely moves, a wider range with auto-compound (fewer rebalances) is often the most cost-effective setup. See Choosing range width.

Keeping costs down

• Use a width appropriate to the pair's volatility (avoid over-tight ranges that churn).
• Prefer liquid pools for tight strategies (less slippage per rebalance).
• Use the rate limit and compound interval as designed — they exist to stop the keeper acting on dust.
