Get fees for a specific transaction

The cost of a specific transaction on the blockchain is dependent on complexity of that transaction. The complexity of a transaction is expressed in the amount of "gas" that is required to execute this transaction. A more complex transaction, requires a higher gas-amount.

This means that the fee that needs to be paid for a specific transaction is the following:

fee-for-a-transaction = amount-of-gas-needed * gas-price-at-that-moment

To retrieve the gas needed to execute a certain blockchain transaction, the build transaction endpoint can be used.

This endpoint adds all the necessary details to a generic transaction request, like the necessary GAS fees, etc.

Example

Request

{
    "type": "TRANSFER",
    "secretType": "MATIC",
    "walletId": "2b358962-4467-4f41-ab93-2b6395d8ae16",
    "to": "0x2Eaf85AF290759770CF98BF83aa640DC2A63daDf",
    "value": 10
}

Response

{
    "success": true,
    "result": {
        "walletId": "2b358962-4467-4f41-ab93-2b6395d8ae16",
        "gasPrice": 20000000000,
        "gas": 21000,
        "value": 10000000000000000000,
        "to": "0x2Eaf85AF290759770CF98BF83aa640DC2A63daDf",
        "type": "MATIC_TRANSACTION"
    }
}

Note that:

• gas represents the maximum amount of gas you allow to be spent on this transaction

• gasPrice is the price for one unit of gas
