## Fee Reduction

Staking CLORE reduces marketplace base fees for **both renters and hosters**:

| CLORE in PoH | Fee Reduction |
| ------------ | ------------- |
| 0            | 0%            |
| 200,000      | 5%            |
| 500,000      | 13%           |
| 1,000,000    | 25%           |
| 2,000,000+   | 50% (maximum) |

Reduction scales linearly: `round(min(poh / 2,000,000, 1) × 50)%`

See [Fee Structure](/for-renters/fee-structure.md) for full details on fee reduction mechanisms.
