Kite fees overview

Here's what Kite charges for different actions. Kite covers network fees (gas), so you never pay gas directly.

Receiving crypto

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

Sending crypto

Free up to your daily per-chain limit. Once you exceed the free limit on a particular blockchain, a flat Kite fee applies to each additional send on that chain.

• The fee varies by network (for example, it's lower on Base and higher on Ethereum).
• The exact fee is shown in-app before you confirm.
• Your free limit resets every day at 12:00 AM UTC.
• If a send transaction fails, you won't be charged.

Swaps & bridges

Fees and estimated settlement times depend on:

• The token you're swapping or bridging
• The amount
• The source and destination networks

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