Fees
The bridge is designed to keep fees low and transparent, while covering network costs and preventing spam transact. There are no additional network fees, meaning you only pay the bridge fee—nothing else.
What Fees Are Charged?
Only one fee! The bridge fee is 0.3% of the transferred amount and is applied to every transaction.

How the Bridge Fee Works
The 0.3% bridge fee is automatically deducted from the amount you receive. Since no gas fees are required, this is the only cost involved in using the bridge.

Why Is There a Bridge Fee?
The 0.3% bridge fee serves two key purposes:
First, it prevents spam transactions. Since transactions on Constellation are fee-less, adding a small fee discourages abuse, such as repeated micro-transfers that could clog the bridge.
Second, it supports bridge operations. The fee helps maintain and improve the bridge, ensuring long-term sustainability and reliability for users.
Unlike traditional bridges that charge gas fees in addition to service fees, this bridge is designed to be cost-efficient and predictable, with only a single, transparent fee applied to each transfer.
