Fees & Rebates

As of April 2026, Temple has introduced volume-based leaderboard rebates. Each month, the rebate pool is announced in advance and is be available to the top users. The leaderboard is sorted based on volume generated per month.

Every month, leaderboard rebates are distributed using a monotonic weighted curve based on trading volume. Rank #1 will always receive more than #2, #2 more than #3, and so on down the board. The curve is weighted toward the top, meaning higher ranks earn a progressively larger share of the pool, but rewards taper smoothly rather than falling off a cliff so mid-board and lower ranks still earn a meaningful cut. Your position is determined purely by your monthly trading volume, and the counter resets on the 1st of each month (UTC).

Rebates will be distributed within the first week of the following month automatically, no action is required by users. You can keep track of distributions by heading over to the rebates tab on Temple.
​
Users must enable pre-approvals on their wallet otherwise rewards will show up as an offer that expires in 7 days, if the offer expires users automatically forfeit their rewards for that given month. We encourage users to review their wallet settings and to make use of "auto-accept" functionality for $CC deposits so they do not miss out on the potential rewards.

Temple has partnered with a handful of wallets, each wallet provider uses their own fee structure for the allocation, some are dynamic based on the network's traffic cost while other have a fixed fee. Fees tend to range between 5-12 Canton Coin.

Temple is using a fee prepayment system to cover trading fees. Users are required to deposit ("pre-pay") fees prior trading and fees are automatically deducted offchain from each user's fee balance. Please note that pre-paid fees are non-refundable and can only be used on Temple's exchange.

Onramps

No fee applies to onramps during the initial launch period. USD arriving in your virtual account is delivered to your wallet as USDCx at face value, with nothing deducted by Temple. Your own bank may charge you for sending a wire.

This is not permanent. A conversion fee on onramps will be introduced as the rail matures, and it will be published here before it takes effect. Offramps carry fees today, listed below.

​Offramps

Three components, all shown before you confirm the transfer:

What is the network buffer, and do I get it back?

Moving USDCx off Canton requires a burn on the network, and the exact cost isn't known until the transaction settles. Temple reserves 2 USDC against it, deducts what the burn actually costs, and returns the remainder to you. It is passed through at cost with no Temple margin. On small off-ramps this is usually the largest single line item.
​
​Are there other costs beyond Temple's fees?

Yes. Transactions on Canton Network require CC to pay network fees, and the wallet you use may charge its own fee when you sign a transaction. Those charges are set by your wallet, not by Temple, and are not visible to us — they will not appear in the fee breakdown shown before you confirm a transfer. Check your wallet's own documentation for what it charges.
