# Quanterra Buy and Sell Fees

**The buy and sell fees charged by Quanterra are a significant component of the QAP**. They provide capital for the protocol's critical functions.

Other protocols sell bonds to fund the same functions as Quanterra fees, but we believe this approach is riskier because if bonds are not purchased, the token's support will erode and the price will spiral downward, as we have seen with several of these bond-based protocols.

Additionally, token holders incur costs when they sell bonds. It limits the amount of APY that can be offered and makes it impossible to offer a stable APY.

The fees (<mark style="color:green;">**14 percent for buy**</mark> and <mark style="color:red;">**16 percent for sell**</mark>) enable Quanterra to maintain a stable high yield of 382,945.41 percent annually for $QUANT holders.
