Blink determines deposit pricing based on the route used for the deposit.

What the user pays

Existing Blink user making a redepositBlink subsidizes the route feeThis keeps redeposits effectively fee-free from the user’s perspective inside Blink.
Guest deposit flowThe normal route feeThis 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:
  1. Execution fees: costs for execution and network gas on the origin and destination chains, including a flat execution fee.
  2. Swap fees: liquidity-provider and routing costs for cross-asset or cross-chain swaps.
  3. 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:
