Network fee on TON blockchain
What is included in the network fee?
According to the official TON blockchain documentation, the network fee is calculated using the following formula: TransactionFee = StorageFees + InFwdFees + ComputationFees + ActionFees + OutFwdFees
- StorageFees: Charged for storing a smart contract on the blockchain, applied when sending or receiving transactions.
- InFwdFees: Charged for delivering incoming external messages.
- ComputationFees: Charged for running code in the TON Virtual Machine (TVM).
- ActionFees: Charged for processing smart contract actions.
- OutFwdFees: Charged for delivering outgoing internal messages.
What currency is used for network fee?
The network fee is paid in Toncoin (TON).
However, W5 standard wallets support the gasless transaction feature, which allows the network fee to be covered by the balance of the transferred token.
Additionally, in Tonkeeper, you can make transactions using the Battery. This feature allows you to send and swap tokens using charges, which can be purchased in various ways.
How is the network fee calculated?
Since the network fee depends on various variables, it is difficult to calculate in advance. However, here are the approximate fees for each type of transaction:
- To send tokens and NFTs, at least 0.1 TON is required.
- To swap tokens, at least 0.3 TON is required.
