Fee Structure

Talken Swap clearly displays all costs before each transaction. Users can review the exact fees and make a decision before executing a swap.

​

Fee Components

The costs involved in a swap are as follows. DEX Fees Liquidity pool fees charged by the DEX where the trade executes. These vary by DEX and pool type.

• Uniswap V3/V4: 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.3%, 1% (varies by pool)
• Curve: 0.04% (for stablecoin pools)
• PancakeSwap: 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.25%, 1% (varies by pool)

When Talken Swap searches for the optimal route, DEX fees are factored in. A route with a lower fee rate may not be selected if the final receive amount is less favorable. Gas Fees Fees incurred when submitting a transaction to the blockchain network. These fluctuate based on network congestion and are paid in each network’s native token (ETH, KAIA, BNB, etc.). Bridge Fees Fees charged by the bridge protocol for cross-chain transactions. Each bridge has a different fee structure, and fees are generally paid in the source chain’s native token.

​

Gasless Mode Fees

When gasless mode is enabled, fees are paid in USDT, USDC, or TALK instead of native tokens. A relayer pays the gas fee on behalf of the user, and the user pays the relay fee in the selected token. The relay fee is calculated based on:

• The gas cost at the time of the transaction
• The price of the selected fee token

Gasless mode is provided so that users who do not hold native tokens can swap immediately without needing to acquire them separately.

​

How to Check Fees

When you enter an amount on the swap screen, the fee breakdown is displayed alongside the estimated receive amount:

• DEX fee rate and amount
• Estimated gas fee (or gasless relay fee)
• Bridge fee (for cross-chain transactions)
• Total cost

Users can review this information before deciding whether to execute the swap.

Cost Comparison with Traditional Transfers

Cross-chain stablecoin transactions differ significantly from traditional international wire transfers in terms of fees and processing time.
