Fee-on-Transfer Token

A token that deducts a fee on every transfer, meaning the recipient receives less than the sender sent. These tokens break pre-calculated swap amounts because the actual tokens arriving at the pair differ from the expected amount. Uniswap V2 Router has special functions that measure actual balances instead of trusting calculations.
