Should a cross-chain swap fee be something you calculate yourself, or something the interface tells you directly?

Testing BNB Chain USDT into TON USDT on STON.fi's cross-chain feature: 12.48 USDT sent, valued at $12.47, against 12.41 USDT received, valued at $12.40. Rather than leaving the actual cost implicit in the gap between those two numbers, the interface labeled this specific result best route and stated the fee outright:

0.56%. Checking that figure against the sent and received amounts confirms it lines up exactly, a small but meaningful detail, since it means the platform is showing its work rather than asking users to trust an unexplained final number.

The best route label itself is worth understanding. It implies Omniston compared available liquidity paths for this specific trade before settling on this result, rather than executing through one single fixed route regardless of conditions. That's a meaningfully different design from a simple, single-pool swap with no alternatives considered.

One caution worth stating directly. Broad network support for BNB Chain does not guarantee every specific asset pair is available and quotable at every moment. Always check the live interface for your exact route before assuming it behaves identically to any example, including this one.

$TON continues to be worth watching for cross-chain interfaces that state fees explicitly rather than leaving them for users to calculate on their own.
