# Fees

> How Blink deposit fees work and when users pay them.

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

## 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.                                            |

<Note>
  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:

| Volume tier    | Same token bridge | Stablecoin swaps |
| -------------- | ----------------- | ---------------- |
| `< $10M`       | `0.00%`           | `0.01%`          |
| `$10M - $100M` | `0.00%`           | `0.0066%`        |
| `$100M - $1B`  | `0.00%`           | `0.0033%`        |

Volume tiers above are trailing 30-day USD volume tiers.

## 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.
