Trench Tools Fee Audit, Episode 2: Cented. This one features @Cented7 / @flipski77, a high-volume Solana trader recently at the center of CT attention. Across 9 wallets shown in the reference, Cented has done about $116M in verified volume and about $10M in realized PnL. Even with strong realized profits, percentage-based fees still add up. They look small per trade, but become a real drag once volume compounds. Based on verified wallet volume, here is the rough math: Total verified volume: $116M Total PnL: $10M Estimated fees at 1%: $1.160M Estimated fees at 0.75%: $870K Fees as % of PnL at 1%: 11.60% Fees as % of PnL at 0.75%: 8.70% The main wallet in this set was funded on Jan 31, 2025. From Jan 31, 2025 to May 27, 2026, a self-hosted Trench Tools setup at roughly $80 per month would have cost about $1,270 in infrastructure. So over that same period, using Trench Tools would have saved roughly: $1.159M versus a 1% fee model $869K versus a 0.75% fee model That means his PnL would have been about: 11.59% higher versus a 1% fee model 8.69% higher versus a 0.75% fee model Trench Tools gives Solana traders the same UX and low-latency execution as fee-based platforms, but with zero platform fees through open-source infrastructure they control. At a 1% platform fee, the break-even is only about $8,000 in monthly trading volume. After that, fixed infrastructure cost beats paying a percentage on every trade.

Introducing @TrenchDotTools Fee Audit. Episode 1 starts with @Cupseyy , one of the best-known and most legendary on-chain memecoin traders on @Solana. Across 4 known wallets, Cupsey has done at least $338.1M in reported volume and about $35.06M in PnL. That makes him a strong example of how percentage-based fees scale with volume, and how much they cut into the returns of even the best-performing traders over time. Using reported wallet volume as the base, here is the rough math: Total reported volume: $338.1M Total PnL: $35.06M Estimated fees at 1%: $3.381M Estimated fees at 0.75%: $2.536M Fees as % of PnL at 1%: 9.64% Fees as % of PnL at 0.75%: 7.23% The first wallet in this set was funded on Oct 12, 2024. From Oct 12, 2024 to May 16, 2026, a self-hosted Trench Tools setup at roughly $80 per month would have cost about $1,530 in infrastructure. So over that same period, using Trench Tools would have saved roughly: $3.379M versus a 1% fee model $2.534M versus a 0.75% fee model That means his PnL would have been about: 9.64% higher versus a 1% fee model 7.23% higher versus a 0.75% fee model Trench Tools gives Solana traders the same UX and low-latency execution as fee-based platforms, but with zero platform fees through open-source infrastructure they control. At this level of volume, switching from percentage-based platform fees to fixed infrastructure cost is a no-brainer.
