Hello!
While reading the source code, I came across this part:
|
const ixTransfer = SystemProgram.transfer({ |
|
fromPubkey: publicKey, |
|
toPubkey: new PublicKey( |
|
"2fmQLSF1xR5FK3Yc5VhGvnrx7mjXbNSJN3d3WySYnzr6" |
|
), |
|
lamports: LAMPORTS_PER_SOL, |
|
}); |
On market creation, 1 SOL will be transferred to this recipient's public address, although it is not explicitly stated in the UI.

If you are looking for some support, I suggest explicitly stating this, otherwise, it could be considered stealing people's money cause it is not a legitimate fee for creating the market. Users using this service must be informed and have consented to this fee, which is currently not the case.
I could be wrong, small chance though, but understanding the rationale behind this sussy transaction is important to establish transparency and maintaining user trust. Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Best!
