Fees
Aarc is committed to complete fee transparency. We currently do not charge any additional protocol or service fees, and users only incur the standard blockchain and liquidity provider (LP) costs outlined below.
Fee Components
- Gas Fees
- Context: Payment to blockchain validators is used to process each transaction step.
- Typical Range: Based on network congestion, transaction complexity, and current gas prices.
- Implementation: Aarc bundles bridging, swaps, and final calls into batched transactions, reducing approvals and manual steps.
- Liquidity Provider (LP) Fees
- Context: Cost to DEXes, aggregators, or bridge providers facilitating asset swaps and transfers.
- Typical Range: Often 0.05%–0.3%, depending on the asset pair and selected route.
- Implementation: Deducted from the swapped or bridged amount. We always aim to minimize these costs.
- Max Slippage
-
Context: This provides a buffer against price changes between quote generation and transaction confirmation.
-
Typical Range: A typical slippage might be 0.2%, balancing execution finality with capital efficiency.
-
Implementation:
-
- Price Impact
-
Context: The effect of trade size on market price, particularly for large trades or lower-liquidity pairs.
-
Implementation:
-
Note: Aarc’s aggregator logic seeks routes with minimal price impact, though market-driven changes cannot be eliminated.

Before executing a deposit or other transactions, users can review fee details and confirm the transaction, ensuring no hidden surprises exist. Aarc provides a clear breakdown of:
- Amount and Token to be sent
- Amount and Token to be received
- Estimated LP Fees

Custom Fees
We allow developers and app builders to charge custom fees ranging from 0.01% to 5% via the developer dashboard. These fees go directly to the app as revenue from user transactions through Aarc.
