// 04_FREQUENTLY_ASKED_QUESTIONS
Are there any hidden fees?
No. The 2.5% fee is the only platform fee. Standard blockchain gas fees go to the network, not Vibestarter.
When exactly is the fee deducted?
At the time of each tranche release. 2.5% is automatically deducted and the remaining 97.5% goes to the founder's wallet.
Do backers pay any fees?
No. Backers only pay the contribution amount plus blockchain gas fees. The 2.5% comes from the founder's side during release.
