Additional FAQs:

When trading, do I pay fees if I buy or sell?

You only pay fees if you are swapping Tessera tokens to other assets. If you are buying from USDC to any Tessera PE tokens, there won't be any fees applied.

How can I check the rate before the trade?

Most Solana wallets show the fee breakdown before you confirm:

┌─────────────────────────────────┐
│      Buy/Sell Preview           │
├─────────────────────────────────┤
│ From :       100 USDC (0.0%)    │
│ To    :      100 $T (0.0%)      │
│ You Get:      100 $T            │
├─────────────────────────────────┤
│ [Cancel]          [Confirm]     │
└─────────────────────────────────┘

What if I don't have enough tokens for the fee?

The transaction will fail.

Make sure you have enough tokens to cover both the amount you want to send and the fee.
