What the user pays
| Situation | What the user pays | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Existing Blink user making a redeposit | Blink subsidizes the route fee | This keeps redeposits effectively fee-free from the user’s perspective inside Blink. |
| Guest deposit flow | The normal route fee | This is expected for guest deposit flows. |
The guest deposit flow includes the standard fee for the selected route. For users who already have a Blink account, Blink subsidizes that fee on redeposits.
What route fees are made of
There are three potential fee components that can affect a route:- Execution fees: costs for execution and network gas on the origin and destination chains, including a flat execution fee.
- Swap fees: liquidity-provider and routing costs for cross-asset or cross-chain swaps.
- Routing fees: a basis-point fee that varies by route category and volume tier.
Fee reference
The following reference rates apply to the routing fee component:| Volume tier | Same token bridge | Stablecoin swaps |
|---|---|---|
< $10M | 0.00% | 0.01% |
$10M - $100M | 0.00% | 0.0066% |
$100M - $1B | 0.00% | 0.0033% |
What those categories mean
- Same token bridge: same asset bridged with no swap, like USDC on Arbitrum to USDC on Base.
- Stablecoin swaps: stablecoin routes between assets like USDC, USDT, DAI, USDe, and USDS.
