# Fees & Commissions

We implement fair and transparent commission structures for all processes conducted within the Aura ecosystem.

## Listing Fess

Prior to the official listing of a project on the platform, a variable upfront fee is assessed and finalized through negotiations, accounting for factors such as the project's size, complexity, and specific requirements.

Once the project's designated fundraising stage has successfully elapsed, the platform deducts a 10% fee from the total amount of capital raised, and the remaining 90% is promptly disbursed to the founder's designated account.

## Premature Unstake Penalties

If a user unstakes tokens before the scheduled unlock date, a 10% penalty will be applied to the principal capital. Earned rewards are not subject to this penalty. This measure is implemented primarily as a strategic safeguard to mitigate the risk of [flash loan attacks](https://chain.link/education-hub/flash-loans), while simultaneously incentivizing sustained financial discipline and long-term commitment among all platform participants.

The platform is built on a foundation of consumer satisfaction and the promotion of equal-opportunity interactions, ensuring that all associated service charges remain minimal and transparent. This commitment to fairness is reflected across the entire fee structure, as the platform prioritizes maintaining accessible costs to foster an equitable environment for all users and project participants.

Beyond the fee structures previously outlined, there are absolutely no hidden charges associated with the platform's services. Users are solely responsible for covering the standard network gas fees required to process transactions, ensuring that all costs remain fully transparent and predictable throughout the entire engagement process.
