# Fees

Fees are a necessary part of running a stake pool and are used to support pool operations, the BlazeStake Treasury, SolBlaze developers, and extra rewards for users. Here are the pool fees:

* Deposit fee: 0%
* Instant withdrawal fee: 0.1%
* Delayed withdrawal fee: 0.1%
* Epoch fee: 0%

For stakers who are referred by other stakers through the BlazeStake referral system, a 0.08% deposit fee is given directly to the person who referred the staker. 

Here is the breakdown for fee distribution:

* SolBlaze DAO: 50%
* SolBlaze Team: 50%
