Fees
Charon takes no fee. Every amount you see is what the source itself pays you.
| Fee | Who gets it | Already in the quote? |
|---|---|---|
| Charon fee | Nobody: it is 0 | — |
| Pool fee | Liquidity providers of the pools a route trades through (0.01% to 1%, or dynamic on Nest) | Yes |
| Aggregator fee | The aggregator, when it charges one. KyberSwap, HyperFlow and Nordstern charge none today; 0x adds 0.15% on its free plan once enabled | Yes |
| Network fee (gas) | HyperEVM, paid in HYPE from your wallet | No, shown next to each route |
Gas
HyperEVM gas is usually a few cents, but it can spike: we have seen it jump from about 0.2 gwei to over 180 gwei within hours. The swap card shows the gas level (Low, Busy, High) and warns you when the network fee would be more than 1% of your order. Routes are ranked on what you receive after gas, so a route that saves a cent of output but costs a dollar more in gas does not win.
If Charon ever charges a fee, it will be shown on every quote and on the review screen before you sign, and announced first.
