Fee types

There are a number of different fees that can be applied to transactions processed via a Rhino.fi Smart Deposit Address or activity via the Rhino.fi bridge. These are a combination of direct onchain costs and fees which are set by Rhino.fi or the client.

Fee Type

Fee Description

Gas Fees

Gas fees cover the onchain transaction costs incurred by Rhino.fi when crediting funds on the destination chain - whether for a Smart Deposit Address involving transaction or a bridge+swap through the Rhino.fi bridge.

These fees are deducted from the final amount which settles on the destination chain.

Source Gas Fee

Source gas fees cover the onchain transaction cost incurred by Rhino.fi when sweeping funds from a Smart Deposit Address. This fee type is not relevant for bridge+swap only transactions.

These fees are deducted from the final amount which settles on the destination chain.

SDA Fee

SDA fees may apply to Smart Deposit Address related activity on chains where sweeping costs are elevated for example Ethereum or Tron.

These fees are deducted from the final amount which settles on the destination chain.

For information on which chains have specific SDA fees please contact the Rhino.fi team.

Platform Fee

Platform fees are the agreed commercial rate for Rhino.fi to provide services to the client. It is represented as a fixed $ amount or can be a fixed % via the Percentage Fee. Typically most clients are on a Percentage rather than Platform fee.

This fee would be deducted from the final amount which settles on the destination chain.

Partner Fee

This is now more commonly known as 'Client Surcharge' and is a fixed $ amount and/or a fixed % amount which can be levied by the client on their end customer.

This fee would be deducted from the final amount which settles on the destination chain and settled to the client as an end of month rebate.

Percentage Fee

Percentage fees are the agreed commercial rate for Rhino.fi to provide services to the client. It is represented as a fixed % or can be a fixed $ amount via the Platform Fee. Typically most clients are on a Percentage rather than Platform fee.

This fee would be deducted from the final amount which settles on the destination chain.

Fee Sponsorship

The default model is that the above fees are deducted from the amount which settles to the end customer on the destination chain. However a client may instead wish to sponsor some or all of the fees, and therefore pay these fees on behalf of the customer.

It is possible to sponsor all fees, or:

  • Only fees from/to or between specified chains

  • Only the Platform fee

  • Only the SDA Fee

  • Only the Gas Fee

  • A combination of Platform Fee and/or, SDA Fee and/or the Gas Fee.

Fee sponsorship works especially well for:

  • Gas abstracted experiences

  • Stablecoin topups in on-chain bank style flows

  • 1:1 stablecoin swaps

Both the fee information and any sponsored amounts are transparently provided within the generated quotes for bridge+swap and Smart Deposit Address-related activity.

To discuss the optimal fee set up for you, please reach out to the team.

To Note:

  • Rhino.fi does not charge additional swap-specific fees - the fees charge for a bridge, bridge+swap or Smart Deposit Address related activity are all outlined above.

  • Aggregator swaps are a legacy feature and may involve one or two swaps, depending on routing requirements. The fee is always applied at the step immediately before crediting on the destination chain, using the bridge route token.

    There are three possible scenarios:

    Scenario 1: One swap on the source chain

    • The full deposited amount is swapped into a bridge-compatible token

    • Fees are deducted from the received bridge token amount

    • Bridging and crediting proceed with the net amount

    Scenario 2: One swap on the destination chain

    • The full deposited amount is bridged to the destination chain

    • Fees are deducted

    • The swap is executed using the net amount

    • The requested token is delivered

    Scenario 3: Two swaps (source and destination)

    • The full deposited amount is swapped into a bridge token

    • The bridge token is transferred cross-chain

    • Fees are deducted

    • A second swap is performed to deliver the requested token

Any fees charged by on-chain aggregators are included in the swap quote.
