Background

This doc describes functionality in Skip Go for accessing standardized information about the various fees that a user can incur while swapping or transferring. Common fees include:

  • Affiliate fees (e.g. fees you charge the user for swapping on your frontend)
  • Bridge and relayer fees
  • Smart Relayer fees
  • Gas fees

​
Understanding incurred fees from all sources: estimated_fees

estimated_fees in the response of /route and /msgs_direct provides a Fee array where each entry gives information about a particular fee.

Each Fee object in the array will have the following attributes:

  • fee_type: Enum giving the kind of fee — SMART_RELAY , SWAP , BRIDGE, RELAY , GAS
  • bridge_id : If the fee is a relayer fee (RELAY) or a bridge fee (BRIDGE), this gives the ID of the bridge charging the fee (or the bridge where the relayer is providing a service)
  • amount : The amount of the fee (expressed in the token the fee will be charged in)
  • usd_amount: Estimated USD value of the fee
  • origin_asset : An Asset object containing useful metadata for displaying and identifying the token in which the fee is denominated
  • chain_id : Chain ID where the fee will be collected
  • denom : Denom of the token in which the fee is denominated
  • tx_index: The zero-indexed identifier of the transaction where the user will incur this fee (For multi-transaction routes, fees may be incurred after the first transaction)
  • operation_index: The zero-indexed entry in the operations array where the user will incur this fee

Development in Progress - Only a subset of fees supported today

For now, only the Smart Relay fee will appear in the estimated_fees array.

We will add other kinds of fees (e.g. swap fees, bridge fees, public relayer fees) over time. For now, these can be found in the operations field attached to the operation where they’re incurred.
