Fees Pricing

Understanding fees and pricing helps you make informed decisions when bridging assets.

Fee Structure

Every bridge transaction includes several types of fees, all shown upfront in quotes.

Fee Components

• Network Fees: Blockchain transaction costs

• Bridge Fees: Service fees for bridge operation

• Compliance Fees: Compliance-related fees (when applicable)

Total Cost

Total Cost = Network Fees + Bridge Fees + Compliance Fees

All fees are transparent and shown before you commit to a transaction.

Network Fees

Cost Optimization Tips

1

Choose Low-Fee Networks

Solana and Tron have the lowest network fees.

2

Time Your Transactions

Avoid high congestion periods to reduce network fees.

3

Batch Transactions

Consider batching if making multiple bridges to reduce relative fees.

4

Compare Quotes

Request quotes at different times to find better rates.

5

Use Layer 2

Consider Layer 2 solutions for Ethereum to lower gas costs.

Estimating Costs

While exact fees depend on current conditions, you can estimate:

Example Calculation:

• Bridge $1,000 worth of assets

• Network fee: ~$5 (Ethereum)

• Bridge fee: ~1% = $10

• Total: ~$15 (1.5%)

For Solana/Tron:

• Network fee: ~$0.01

• Bridge fee: ~1% = $10

• Total: ~$10 (1%)

Factors Affecting Fees

• Network Congestion: Higher congestion = higher network fees

• Transaction Size: Larger amounts may have different rates

• Time of Day: Network activity varies by time

• Market Conditions: Volatility can affect fees
