## Transaction Fees in VTSN Purchases
Each VTSN transaction incurs a fee of **1 Dark Energy Unit (DEU)**, equivalent to **$0.10**.

**Example**:
– **Purchase Amount**: $200.00
– **Transaction Fee**: $0.10
– **Net Amount for VTSN Purchase**: $199.90

The **Automated Market Maker (AMM)** adjusts your order to reflect the net amount after deducting the transaction fee, ensuring you receive VTSN corresponding to the actual funds applied.

## Automated Market Maker (AMM) and Liquidity Pools
The AMM facilitates trades by utilizing liquidity pools, which are collections of funds locked in smart contracts. These pools enable decentralized trading without the need for traditional order books.

**Key Points**:
– **Liquidity Pools**: Comprised of two assets, allowing users to trade between them.
– **Pricing Algorithm**: Determines the price of assets based on their ratios within the pool.
– **Continuous Liquidity**: Ensures that trades can occur at any time, supported by the assets in the pool.

By adjusting your order to the net amount after fees, the AMM maintains the integrity and balance of the liquidity pool, providing a seamless trading experience.

**In Summary**:
When purchasing VTSN, a fixed transaction fee of $0.10 is deducted, and the AMM adjusts your order to reflect the net amount. This process ensures transparency and accuracy in your transactions, supported by the liquidity pool mechanism.

**Special Note**
Satoshi preloaded Vertisan with $7,000,000 worth of DEU so nobody is incurring fees for a long time. Afterwards, donations of Dark Energy can be made to that same address for community. Maybe some kind benefactors will help ensure nobody incurs fees directly.
