Fees
Bundlr's fee is dynamic and depends on several parameters.
Fee Computation
Fees are computed as follows:
bundlr_fee(X = number of bytes) =
arweave_cost(max(X, 10000)) *
conversion_rate("AR", currency) *
global_multiplier *
oracle_fee
arweave_cost
is cost of storingX
number of bytes on Arweave using linear pricing (i.e. ignoring minimum chunk size). e.g. ifarweave_cost(256KB) = $2.56
thenarweave_cost(1KB) = $0.01
conversion_rate
is the conversion rate between AR and some other currency (e.g. MATIC). This allows users to pay the same fees in different currencies.global_multiplier
is a multiplier applied to all transactions which can be seen as a “profit margin”.oracle_fee
is a risk multiplier which accounts for cost of treasury management and asset volatility.
ℹ️
Due to a ~3.5x increase in the base cost to store on Arweave (arweave_cost) brought about by the 2.6 hardfork, we are temporarily subsidizing 75% of all upload costs. We expect the cost to stabilize as new miners enter the network and will discontinue subsidizing when the base cost drops.
