EigenLayer publishes no deposit, withdrawal or management fee for native restaking on any restaker-facing page. It DOES publish the fee taken from rewards, in plain language, on its rewards concept pages: "Operators can [set their per-AVS fee rate](../../operators/howto/configurerewards/set-rewards-split.md) on AVS Rewards to any amount from 0% to 100%. The default split is 10%." (concepts/rewards/rewards-concept.md), and "By default, Operators earn a 10% split on Rewards. The rest of the reward is claimable by the Operator's delegated Stakers." (concepts/rewards/rewards-split.md). The same 10% default is stated for programmatic incentives (concepts/rewards/pi-split.md). Note one internal contradiction: concepts/rewards/rewards-claiming-faq.md still says "Operators get a fixed 10% portion rewards, though this is subject to change in a future release to be variable", which the 0–100% concept page has already superseded. The contract docs add a mechanical restatement — "The split lookup chain is: operator set split → global default split → 10% fallback." (docs/core/RewardsCoordinator.md) — and mention an unquantified EigenLayer-level charge, "Takes the protocol fee (if the submitter is opted in for protocol fees)", without ever stating its rate. Checked 2026-08-16: nothing under docs/eigenlayer/restakers/ states a rate; the fee disclosure lives one directory over in concepts/rewards/. Native restaking is otherwise gas-cost bearing: "the web app will batch up to 80 validators per proof transaction batch."· Min: 0.01 ETH

"Vault V2 supports two fee types that are configured directly on the vault: Management fee: a continuous fee charged on vault assets over time. Performance fee: a fee charged on the vault's positive performance." ... "fee is the management fee rate per second, scaled by MAX_FEE = 1e18, capped at MAX_MANAGEMENT_FEE = 5e16 / 365 days (≈ 5% annually)." ... "Only addresses with the appropriate permission can update the management fee." Performance fee on the same page is capped at MAX_PERFORMANCE_FEE = 2e17 (20%) via setPerformanceFee, and fees are paid in newly minted vault shares so "the ownership of existing depositors is diluted proportionally". CRITICAL SCOPE LIMIT, measured 2026-08-16: these are VAULT V2 fees, and type v2 holds $2,652,448 of $335,737,548 — 0.8% of TVL across 24 of 392 vaults. Type v1 holds $262,469,923 (78.2%, n=333) and pre-deposit $70,615,176 (21.0%, n=35). ZERO of the 55 eth-restaking vaults are v2. So this page does not describe the fee on any vault an ETH restaking depositor can enter today. The same page concedes a superseded model — "Unlike previous versions, there is no external rewards registry or curator registration" — and that previous model appears on none of the 62 URLs in https://docs.symbiotic.fi/sitemap.xml. The only vendor statement covering the other 99.2% is in the Terms of Use: "Vault Deployers may receive fees from staking or restaking activities, which may be based on Staking Rewards, incentive programs" (https://app.symbiotic.fi/terms_of_use.pdf). NO protocol-level deposit or withdrawal fee is DISCLOSED on any vendor page — but note this is not the same as none existing: a contract named ProtocolFeeRegistry (0x9983edCD02f57b8b94bD8dE9D18E614dFB964d6D) is deployed on https://docs.symbiotic.fi/get-started/resources/addresses, and the string "ProtocolFeeRegistry" appears on that page and nowhere else in the documentation. Economics are otherwise set per vault by the curator.· Min: 0.01 ETH

"The following table details the current distribution of total rewards earned for all parties involved." | Entity | Total rewards | — Staker 90%, Node Operator 5%, Swell DAO Treasury 5%, Total 100%. The page also carries an explicit body-text stamp, "Updated 26.01.2024". On withdrawals the vendor FAQ states: "Swell doesn't charge a fee for withdrawals, but withdrawals are subject to Ethereum gas fees." (https://docs.swellnetwork.io/swell-staking/faqs). No deposit fee is published on either page. The 5% DAO cut plus 5% node-operator cut is a 10% total take from staking/restaking rewards, not from principal.

Vault-level fees are published only at the architecture layer, not on either product page: "Vaults may charge a **platform fee** set in the **Accountant**" / "Fee range: **0% to 2%**" / "**No performance fees** are charged by any vault" (https://etherfi.gitbook.io/etherfi/products/liquid/veda-vault.md, loaded 2026-08-16). VERIFIED AGAINST THE LIVE CONTRACT RATHER THAN INFERRED (this verifier's own read, 2026-08-16): calling accountantState() (selector 0x433255de) on the weETHs Accountant 0xbe16605B22a7faCEf247363312121670DFe5afBE returns platformFee = 0 and performanceFee = 0 (i.e. 0.00% / 0.00%), with isPaused=false, exchangeRate 1.060638285 and lastUpdateTimestamp 1786833791 (2026-08-15T22:43:11Z); the weETHk Accountant 0x126af21dc55C300B7D0bBfC4F3898F558aE8156b returns the same 0 / 0. So the live fee is at the bottom of the published band — but the depositor is never told this on either product page and must reach for the ABI. Separately, on the staking book (out of scope here): "The sum of all staking rewards is split out between stakers, node operators and the protocol, 90%, 5%, 5%, respectively" (https://etherfi.gitbook.io/etherfi/resources/ether.fi-whitepaper/ether.fi-staking.md, loaded 2026-08-16 — the same paragraph anchors its APR to "As of September 13th, 2025", ~11 months stale).· Min: 0.01 ETH

Withdrawal, 1-step ("instant withdrawals"): "this option allows you to receive your WETH immediately" ... "include a 1% fee on the withdrawn amount. The collected fee is directed to the protocol treasury, where it will later be used to fund in-protocol improvements and buybacks of the PUFFER token." Withdrawal, 2-step ("standard withdrawals"): "this option allows you to convert your pufETH into WETH without paying any fees. This mode ensures the Protocol will have enough liquidity to cover the withdrawal, although it might take around 14 days to complete." Minimum: "This withdrawal mode has a minimum withdrawal amount of 0.01 pufETH." (all https://docs.puffer.fi/yield/stakers/withdraw, re-loaded and verified character-exact 2026-08-16). THE 1% IS NOT FIXED AND ITS DESTINATION IS PUBLISHED TWO WAYS: the vendor's own launch post for this feature, https://blog.puffer.fi/posts/pufeth-withdrawals-enhancing-flexibility-and-security-in-puffer-lrt-d03dee863585 (published 10/16/2024), states "A small fee is applied ... The fee is configurable by the DAO and is burned, increasing pufETH value for all holders" — DAO-configurable, and burned to holders, against the current docs page saying it is "directed to the protocol treasury" for "buybacks of the PUFFER token". Both pages are live. The recurring fee on rewards is NOT quantified anywhere: https://docs.puffer.fi/yield/protocol/rewards says only "The treasury is allocated a portion as a protocol fee" and lists Guardians, Restaking Operators and the Puffer Protocol as fee recipients without a rate (loaded 2026-08-16).· Min: 0.01 ETH

"Instant withdrawal will allow you to withdraw the assets immediately, for a fee of 0.5%" / "Standard withdrawal is free, but you will have to wait for 15-21 days to get your stake back" (https://kerneldao.gitbook.io/kernel/getting-started/kelp/restaking-guide). The Instant Withdrawals page states the same as a table: "Time for withdrawal | < 2 mins* | 15-21 days" and "Fee for withdrawal | 0.5% | 0", footnoted "*Subject to availability of funds". Minting carries no published deposit fee. A protocol fee EXISTS and is partly disclosed, but its RATE is published nowhere: across all 23 Kelp documentation pages listed in the vendor's own llms.txt index (https://kerneldao.gitbook.io/kernel/llms.txt), loaded as markdown on 2026-08-16, "fee" resolves to the 0.5% instant-withdrawal fee; a named on-chain "Fee Receiver" contract 0xdbC3363De051550D122D9C623CBaff441AFb477C (https://kerneldao.gitbook.io/kernel/getting-started/kelp/smart-contracts); a settable protocol fee whose authority was loosened — "Changed setFeeBps access from TIMELOCK_ROLE to DEFAULT_ADMIN_ROLE for faster fee adjustments without timelock delay"; a supply control, "Maximum cap in terms of rsETH minted as fee per day"; "getTokenBalanceMinusFees() to prevent accidentally bridging earned fees to L1" (all four at https://kerneldao.gitbook.io/kernel/getting-started/kelp/security/upgrades); a bridge-gas parameter; and the separate 100 USDC sunset-recovery fee. So the depositor can learn that a reward fee is taken, where it goes, and that a 6-of-11 Safe can change it with no timelock — but not what it is.· Min: 0.01 ETH

Roughly 25% commission on gross staking rewards — the highest take-rate among major venues, and several 2026 sources report it reaching ~35% depending on asset and conditions, so treat 25% as the floor rather than the certain rate. Wrapping and unwrapping ETH2 to cbETH is free; exit runs through the network exit queue or a market sale of cbETH.
