How to Calculate the Real Cost of a Cross-Chain Swap
A cross-chain swap isn't just about the network fee.
To understand the real cost, compare what you send with what you receive.
For example:
500 $USDC → 496 $USDT
➜ Difference: 4 USDT
➜ Effective cost: 0.8%
But that difference may include more than a simple fee. Consider:
➜ Network fees
➜ Exchange-rate differences
➜ Price impact
➜ Slippage
➜ Execution costs
➜ Final amount received
When comparing routes, don't focus only on the cheapest gas fee.
Check the final output.
With cross-chain infrastructure such as STON.fi and Omniston, always review the live quote for your specific amount before confirming.
Simple rule:
What you send → What you receive = the starting point for understanding the real cost.
Always verify the asset, network, destination wallet, fees, and expected output before signing.
