What are Arbitrum One fees?
Whenever you send crypto, swap tokens, or interact with a decentralized application (DApp) on Arbitrum One, you'll pay a small network fee.
These fees are paid to the network validators responsible for processing transactions.
Unlike centralized services, these fees are not charged by Bitcoin.com. They are paid directly to the Arbitrum One network.
Why do Arbitrum One fees change?
Network fees vary depending on current network activity.
Fees may increase when:
More users are submitting transactions
Network demand is temporarily higher
More complex smart contract interactions are performed
Although fees fluctuate, Arbitrum One is designed to be significantly cheaper than Ethereum mainnet.
How much are Arbitrum One fees?
Most standard transactions on Arbitrum One cost only a small fraction of the equivalent fee on Ethereum mainnet.
The exact fee depends on:
Current network congestion
The type of transaction
The complexity of the smart contract being used
The Bitcoin.com Wallet automatically estimates an appropriate network fee before you confirm your transaction.
What token is used to pay fees?
Arbitrum One uses ETH as its native token for network fees.
This means you'll need a small amount of ETH in your Arbitrum One wallet before you can:
Send assets
Swap tokens
Connect to DApps
Interact with smart contracts
Even if you're sending another token, such as USDC, the network fee must still be paid in ETH.
Why did my transaction fail?
Transactions may fail if:
You don't have enough ETH to pay the network fee.
Network conditions changed before your transaction was confirmed.
The transaction was rejected by the smart contract.
Another pending transaction from your wallet prevented it from being processed.
If a transaction fails, the transferred assets usually remain in your wallet. However, any network fee used to process the transaction is generally not refundable, as it compensates the network for the work performed.
Tips for successful transactions
To help ensure your transactions are processed successfully:
Keep a small amount of ETH in your Arbitrum One wallet for network fees.
Wait for any pending transactions to complete before sending additional transactions.
Ensure your Bitcoin.com Wallet app is updated to the latest version.
Double-check you're using the correct network before sending funds.
