Been catching up on some IRL stuff I had to put aside during the hackathon, but I’ve still been working on the next @TrenchDotTools update.
Portfolio page and a few other things coming very soon.
$5.5M saved in fees on Jupiter Mobile in May!
Every swap you make on Jupiter Mobile keeps more in your wallet than anywhere else.
$5.5M that didn't disappear into swap costs.
Just Use Jupiter (Mobile). 📲
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.
Version 1.1.7 of @TrenchDotTools is now live!
You can now trade, snipe, deploy, and Vamp directly from @X.
Also included a bunch of quality-of-life fixes, smoother extension behavior, and general improvements across the app. $Trenchtools
