How it works
How every number is produced
Network fees and prices every 15 minutes; exchange API fees every 6 hours; manual rows checked weekly and dated.
Assets covered
Tether, USD Coin, Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, BNB, Tron, Toncoin, Polygon. Stablecoins are priced as a token transfer on each chain; the native coins as a plain transfer.
Network fees
| Network | How the number is produced | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Tron (TRC-20) | What a USDT transfer burns in TRX for energy and bandwidth, at the chain's current prices. Assumes the sender burns TRX, which is what most people do; staking TRX for energy makes it nearly free. A first transfer to a brand-new address costs about twice as much; both cases are on the network page. | TronGrid |
| Ethereum (ERC-20) | The gas one USDT transfer uses (measured live) × the current gas price, which is the base fee plus the tip most people are paying right now. The fast case uses a higher tip. | PublicNode |
| Solana (SPL) | The base fee plus the tip most people are paying, for the compute a token transfer needs. Sending to a wallet that has never held the token also pays the token-account rent, which is only refunded if that account is closed later. | Solana public RPC |
| BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20) | The gas one USDT transfer uses (measured live) × the current gas price, which is the base fee plus the tip most people are paying right now. | PublicNode |
| Polygon PoS | The gas one USDT transfer uses (measured live) × the current gas price, which is the base fee plus the tip most people are paying right now. | PublicNode |
| Arbitrum One | Same as Ethereum, but the live gas estimate on Arbitrum already includes the cost of posting the transaction's data to Ethereum. | Arbitrum public RPC |
| TON (jetton) | The median of the total fees paid by recent real USDT transfers on the chain. Wallets also attach about 0.05 TON with each transfer, most of which comes back. | tonapi.io |
| Bitcoin | The fee rate for the next block, for about 30 minutes and for about 60 minutes, × the size of a typical transaction. Exchanges credit a deposit after 1 to 2 confirmations, so add 10 to 20 minutes. | mempool.space |
Fee in USD = fee in the coin × the coin's USD price (CoinGecko, cached 5 minutes; Binance and OKX prices as fallbacks). Time to credit = the confirmations big exchanges wait for × the chain's block time.

Checks on every number
- No negative fees; each network has a sanity cap; a price older than one hour is rejected.
- A network fee more than 10× its 7-day median is treated as a glitch: the previous value is kept, marked stale, and we are alerted.
- If a source fails, the page keeps its last good value with the time it was seen. One broken source never takes the site down.
- Every exchange's network name is mapped to one internal id; unknown names are never published.
Limitations
- Network fees are for one standard transfer at the moment shown; your wallet may pick a different priority.
- Exchange fees can change without notice. API values are at most 6 hours old; hand-checked values show their date.
- Licensing and funding facts are checked by hand against the regulator or the exchange; each row shows when.
- Nothing here is a recommendation.
Saudi Arabia note
Saudi Arabia has no licensing regime for crypto exchanges. SAMA and the CMA have warned the public about dealing with unlicensed platforms. This site is informational only and does not recommend any service.
