Website and discovery access

There is no subscription or access charge for this website, its public documentation resources, or its read-only discovery MCP tools. No account, agent registration, or API key is required for those resources.

Public access does not promise unlimited requests or availability. Third-party API providers, wallets, and interfaces may have their own charges, limits, and terms.

What a swap can cost

A swap is a separate on-chain operation. Its cost depends on the assets, amount, liquidity, network conditions, and interface used. There is no single fixed price for every swap.

Inbound network fee: The source chain charges for submitting the transaction. This is paid through the sending wallet.
Liquidity fee: The protocol charges for the liquidity used by the swap. The amount depends on the trade and applicable network fee rules.
Outbound fee: Delivery on the destination chain incurs a fee that covers network costs and protocol overhead.
Optional affiliate or integrator fee: A wallet or interface may add its own fee. Check the selected provider’s fee breakdown.

Check the current cost

Review a fresh quote and your wallet’s network-fee estimate before confirming a transaction. Quotes can expire or change. A failed or refunded swap may still incur network or refund fees.

The discovery MCP and in-page resource tools do not trade, sign transactions, move funds, or manage accounts.
