## **Transaction Fees**

Every buy or sell transaction made through Fred Bot incurs a **1% fee** in $VIRTUAL. To optimize transactions and reduce unnecessary charges, these fees are **accumulated** in your account until they exceed **30 $VIRTUAL**. Once the threshold is reached, an **automatic deduction** is processed.

### 🔥 Burn to Reduce Fees

Burning **$FRED** permanently reduces your trading fees.

* **Base Fee:** 1% per buy or sell transaction.
* **Burn Effect:** For every **1,000,000 $FRED** you burn, your fee decreases by **0.01%** (1% of the base fee).

#### How Burn?

To reduce your fees, simply **send $FRED from your trading wallet** to the official **dead address** `0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD`.\
Fred Bot automatically detects the burn, links it to your wallet, and updates your fee rate instantly.
