Fees on roodswap

THREE FEES, NO SURPRISES

Every trade on roodswap has at most three costs. The service fee, network gas, and the underlying DEX or bridge fee. The quote lists the service fee on its own line, gas whenever the engine reports it, and the venue's fee wherever the engine itemizes one — and where it does not, that fee is already deducted from the output figure you see.

roodswap is non-custodial. Funds move from your wallet straight to the destination token or address. There is nothing to deposit and nothing hidden between the quote you read and the transaction you approve.

THE 0.1% SERVICE FEE

roodswap charges a flat 0.1% service fee. It is already included in the displayed rate. The output amount you see is the amount you get after this fee, not before.

There is no separate line to add and no markup layered on top of the price. The rate is the rate. Plain transfers are the one exception: sending the same token to another address on the same chain is gas-only and carries no service fee. Anything we route — a different token, or a different chain — carries the 0.1%.

NETWORK GAS

Gas is what the blockchain charges to process your transaction. It goes to the network, not to roodswap. It changes with network congestion and with the chain you are on. Gas on a busy chain costs more than gas on a quiet one.

The quote shows the estimated gas wherever the routing engine reports one, so you know the cost before you sign. Two of the engines we query do not report gas at all, and in that case the quote says so rather than printing a zero — your wallet will still show you the real fee before you approve. On cross-chain trades you may pay gas on the source chain and, depending on the route, a gas component covered on the destination side.

THE UNDERLYING DEX OR BRIDGE FEE

Your trade executes through a decentralized exchange or a bridge. Those protocols charge their own fee, set by them, not by roodswap. It is not itemized separately — it is already deducted from the output the route quotes you.

roodswap uses best-route aggregation to keep this cost down. It compares prices across dozens of DEXs and bridges through several routing engines at once, then picks the route that leaves you with the most output after fees.

WHAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU SIGN

• The rate, with the 0.1% service fee already included.
• The estimated network gas for the transaction.
• The underlying DEX or bridge fee, shown as part of the chosen route.
• The minimum you will receive. If the route cannot deliver at least this amount, it will not execute.
