# Gas Prices & Tax with 0xLeverage
When opening trades with 0xLeverage, the associated costs due to gas prices and token tax are covered by the user. An additional 0.05 ETH will be added to the leverage wallet to cover these costs, and what is left over will be stored in the users dedicated leverage wallet to lower the amount of additional ETH needed for the users next trade. This is only applicable to trades being made on the Ethereum main-net due to its high gas costs, and will be substantially less on any other blockchain 0xLeverage incorporates into its ecosystem. \
\
Here you will find some key information as to how the can affect your 0xLeverage experience, and how to maximize benefits and mitigate losses due to gas costs.\
\
(Above information pertains to ETH main net only, as our integration with alternative blockchains significantly reduce gas fee's. Gas costs taken by 0xLeverage on alternative blockchains can be decreased by as much as 10x and result in cheaper transactions.)\
\
**Solana Transaction Costs**\
\
On Solana, the transaction process is different. Instead of large single gas charges, trades are executed through a bundled set of smaller transactions. Each transaction incurs a minimal network fee and a JITO tip. The JITO tip is used to prioritize your transaction and improve execution speed.
In most cases, the total cost of both the gas priority fee and JITO tip is under 0.01 SOL. Users can adjust their settings to pay higher tips for faster throughput or lower them to reduce costs, understanding that this may slightly reduce execution priority. The fees are taken directly from your wallet at the time of trade and are not preloaded into the leverage wallet.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.0xleverage.io/best-practices/gas-prices-and-tax-with-0xleverage.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
