Cross-chain transfer fee
The Network (and thus the Satellite app) charges a base fee for all cross-chain transfers. This fee only depends on the source/destination chain and the asset and does NOT take a percentage from the transfer amount. When transferring an asset X from chain Y to chain Z, the transfer fee is the sum of per-chain fee for that asset. For e.g. a transfer of 1000 UST from Terra to Avalanche will have a fee of 1.5 UST (= 0.5 UST for Terra + 1.0 UST for Avalanche), and so the recipient will get 998.5 UST.
| Asset symbol | Ethereum | non-Ethereum EVM | Cosmos Chains | Decimals | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| UST | 20 UST | 1 UST | 0.5 UST | 6 | uusd |
| LUNA | 0.2 LUNA | 0.01 LUNA | 0.005 LUNA | 6 | uluna |
| ATOM | 0.7 ATOM | 0.04 ATOM | 0.02 ATOM | 6 | uatom |
| USDC | 20 USDC | 1 USDC | 0.5 USDC | 6 | uusdc |
| FRAX | 20 FRAX | 1 FRAX | 0.5 FRAX | 18 | frax-wei |
| DAI | 20 DAI | 1 DAI | 0.5 DAI | 18 | dai-wei |
| USDT | 20 USDT | 1 USDT | 0.5 USDT | 6 | uusdt |
The current transfer fee can also be queried on the network with
axelard q nexus transfer-fee [source chain] [destination chain] [amount]For e.g., querying the example transfer above (note 1 UST = 10^6 uusd),
axelard q nexus transfer-fee terra avalanche 1000000000uusdThe per-chain fee info can be queried via
axelard q nexus fee avalanche uusdIf the total amount of asset X sent to a deposit address A is NOT greater than the transfer fee, then those deposits will sit in the queue until a future deposit to A brings the total above the fee.
Additionally, users should be prepared to pay for any transaction fees assessed by the source chain when transferring funds into a deposit address. These fees are typically in the form of native tokens on that chain (for e.g. LUNA on Terra, ETH on Ethereum).
