Fees

7.Exchange is transparent about costs. Every fee is displayed in the route preview before you confirm a swap. There are no hidden charges.

Fee types

A swap on 7.Exchange may include the following costs:

Integrator fee

7.Exchange charges a flat 0.1% integrator fee on each transaction. This fee supports platform development and infrastructure.

If you swap using a referral link, your cost stays exactly the same. 7.Exchange still collects supported provider affiliate fees to the platform fee wallet, and the referrer becomes eligible for a share of that fee under the referral program rules.

Network gas fees

Every on-chain transaction requires gas. Gas fees go to the blockchain network validators, not to 7.Exchange. Gas costs depend on which chain you are transacting on, current network congestion, and transaction complexity (multi-step routes use more gas).

Cross-chain swaps may involve gas on both the source chain (paid by you directly) and the destination chain (typically included in the bridge fee or quoted output).

Bridge and protocol fees

Cross-chain swaps use bridge protocols to transfer assets between chains. Each bridge charges its own fees for this service. Depending on the provider and route, these may include:

• Liquidity / LP fee - paid to liquidity providers who facilitate the swap or bridge transfer. The pricing model varies by provider (utilization-based, slip-based, or spread-based).
• Protocol / network fee - a service fee charged by the bridge protocol itself for facilitating the operation.
• Destination gas fee - the cost of executing the transaction on the destination chain, covered by the bridge and included in the quoted fee.
• Messaging fee - for routes using LayerZero, this covers cross-chain message verification and execution.
• Boost fee - an optional fee on Chainflip routes for faster deposit confirmation.

Bridge fees vary by provider, chain pair, and transfer amount. All applicable fees are itemized in the fee breakdown.

Swap and price impact

When your route involves a swap on a decentralized exchange, the DEX and its liquidity providers charge a fee (typically a small percentage of the trade). This is standard across all DEXs and is built into the quoted output.

Price impact reflects how much your trade moves the market price due to available liquidity. Larger trades relative to pool size result in higher price impact. This is shown separately from fees in the route preview when applicable.

How to see fees

Every route in the swap interface shows total fees. Click Fee Breakdown on any route to see a detailed split of where each cost comes from. Each fee line item shows the amount, the token it is denominated in, and its USD equivalent.

The Output number shown for each route is always net: all fees have already been deducted. The amount displayed is what you should expect to receive.

Fee comparison across routes

Different routes for the same swap can have different fee structures. A route through Bridge A might charge a higher bridge fee but offer lower slippage, resulting in a better net output than a route through Bridge B with a lower bridge fee but worse execution.

This is why 7.Exchange ranks routes by net output rather than by lowest fee. The cheapest route is not always the best route.

Referral fee sharing

7.Exchange charges a 0.1% integrator fee on supported swaps. When you swap using a referral link, your cost stays exactly the same: supported provider affiliate fees are collected by the platform, and the referrer is credited internally for the program share.

By default, referrers become eligible for 50% of the provider-reported affiliate or app fee generated by qualifying referred swaps. Admins create weekly payout batches, and each eligible referrer receives one manual transfer for their total unclaimed balance in that batch.

The minimum payout amount is $10. Referral earnings below $10 are not included in a payout list; they remain unclaimed and carry forward until the referrer's balance reaches the minimum.
