# Fees

When a new token is created there is a $250 fee paid in USDC that is applied. This price helps to ensure that only serious and committed teams or individuals will use the service. The fee also is used to help support the VaporDex team and ecosystem. Half of the funds are used to buy VAPE which is then paired with the other half of the USDC and is added to the VAPE/USDC liquidity pool on VaporDex.
