The $VULT Discount Ladder: How to Cut Vultisig's Swap Fee to Zero

Vultisig charges 0.50% on swaps. That's the sticker price. Hold $VULT in your vault and the sticker stops applying: six tiers walk the fee down from 50 bps to a flat zero.

Think of it like airline status, except the math is public. There's no application, no staking contract, no lock-up. The wallet reads your $VULT balance when it quotes a swap and charges the fee your tier earns. The whole schedule lives in one open-source config file that every Vultisig platform imports, so what you read here is what the code charges.

The ladder

Base swap fee: 50 bps (0.50%). Each tier subtracts from it:

• Bronze: 1,500 $VULT. Discount 5 bps. You pay 45 bps (0.45%).
• Silver: 3,000 $VULT. Discount 10 bps. You pay 40 bps (0.40%).
• Gold: 7,500 $VULT. Discount 20 bps. You pay 30 bps (0.30%).
• Platinum: 15,000 $VULT. Discount 25 bps. You pay 25 bps (0.25%), half the base fee.
• Diamond: 100,000 $VULT. Discount 35 bps. You pay 15 bps (0.15%).
• Ultimate: 1,000,000 $VULT. Discount 50 bps. You pay 0. Nothing. Vultisig's fee is gone.

Your tier is whatever threshold your balance clears. 14,999 $VULT is Gold; one more token is Platinum.

What that means in dollars

Take a $10,000 swap:

• No $VULT: $50 fee.
• Gold: $30 fee.
• Platinum: $25 fee.
• Diamond: $15 fee.
• Ultimate: $0 fee.

A Platinum holder saves $25 per $10,000 swapped. Swap $100,000 a month and the tier pays you back $250 monthly against the base rate. Whether the ladder beats simply holding less $VULT depends on your volume; the math above is everything you need to run your own number.

The THORGuard shortcut

There's one boost the tier table doesn't show. Holding a THORGuard NFT changes your tier two ways:

• No $VULT at all: you get Bronze anyway.
• Bronze, Silver, or Gold: you move up one tier.

The boost caps at Platinum. Diamond and Ultimate demand the full balance, NFT or not. It lives in the same open-source fee logic as the ladder itself, not in a promo that quietly expires.

Referrals stack on top

Swapping with a referral code takes another 5 bps off: 45 bps with no tier at all, and each tier lands 5 bps under the ladder above. The live table on the $VULT page shows both columns side by side.

How to actually climb it

1. Get $VULT: swap to it inside Vultisig, or buy on Kraken or Uniswap. The contract is 0xb788144DF611029C60b859DF47e79B7726C4DEBa on Ethereum.
2. Hold it in the vault you swap from. That's the balance the wallet checks.
3. Swap. The discount applies at quote time, automatically.

No claiming, no registration, no epoch to wait for.

FAQ

Do I have to stake or lock my $VULT?

No. The wallet reads the token balance sitting in your vault. It stays liquid, in your custody, spendable any time. Spend below a threshold and you simply drop to the tier you still clear.

Which fees does the discount apply to?

Vultisig's own swap fee, the 50 bps sticker. Network gas and the pricing of the underlying swap route are separate; no wallet can discount those away. For how the base fee compares across wallets, the swap-fee comparison breaks it down.

Does it work on every platform?

Yes. iOS, Android, desktop, and the browser extension all import the same fee configuration, so your tier follows your vault everywhere.

Is 0% real at Ultimate?

Yes. The discount at Ultimate equals the full base fee: 50 minus 50. Vultisig charges nothing on the swap.

What else does $VULT do?

Fee discounts are one leg. $VULT also pays Plugin Marketplace fees and carries governance voting. Tokenomics live on the $VULT page.

Hold the ladder next to any wallet's flat fee and the point is plain: the more you use Vultisig, the less it costs, until it costs nothing. Get $VULT or download the wallet and start on the first rung.
