Kite fees overview

Here’s what Kite charges for each action. Kite covers network fees (gas), so you never pay gas yourself.

Receiving crypto

Free. There are no fees or limits on receiving crypto into your Kite wallet.

Sending crypto

Sending is free up to a daily limit on each network. Once you go over the free limit on a network, each extra send on that network has a flat Kite fee.

• The fee depends on the network. For example, it’s lower on Base and higher on Ethereum.
• You’ll see the exact fee in the app before you confirm.
• Your free limit resets every day at 12:00 AM UTC.

Swaps and bridges

Fees and estimated completion times depend on:

• The token you’re swapping or bridging
• The amount
• The networks you’re moving between

You’ll always see the total fee and estimated completion time before you confirm.

Kite Card

• Spend in USD: free
• Spend in other currencies: 1.8% FX fee
• Card issuance: free
