# Funding

Actions on STONKFUNBOT cost real SOL. What you'll need depends on what you're asking it to do.

## What makes up the cost

* **Network fees** exist on every transaction your wallet signs. These are set by the Solana network, not by STONKFUNBOT.
* **Launch costs vary.** StonkFun prices each launch at request time rather than publishing a fixed rate, so the real cost is quoted live and shown to you before you confirm anything.
* **STONKFUNBOT's own service fee** may apply on top of that — see [Fees](/understanding-the-system/fees.md) for the current figures.

## Why there's no fixed minimum

There's no honest fixed minimum to print here, because the launchpad doesn't publish one either. The proposal you're shown always carries the real number for that specific action, and STONKFUNBOT tells you if your balance is short before it signs anything — never after.

## Getting funded

Send SOL to your wallet's address, shown in your dashboard. A comfortable starting balance is enough to cover a typical launch's cost plus the service fee and a small network-fee buffer — but treat that as general guidance, not a guarantee: the live quote you're shown when you actually ask for something is the number that matters.

## 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.stonkfun.bot/using-stonkfunbot/funding.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
