Fees & Limits

The BWICK Bridge has no bridging fees — you receive the exact amount you deposit or withdraw. However, you pay standard gas fees on each chain, and rate limits apply to withdrawals.

Bridging Fees

Fee TypeAmount
Bridge feeNone (0%)
Deposit feeNone
Withdrawal feeNone
You receive exactly the amount you bridge, minus only the gas fees for the transactions on each chain.

Gas Requirements

You need gas tokens on each chain to execute bridge transactions.

Deposit (Solana to bwickchain)

RequirementDetails
SOL for Solana txSponsored by the relayer (no cost to user)
Account creationFirst-time UserAccount rent (~0.002 SOL) also sponsored by the relayer
Deposits are gasless: you can bridge in from a wallet with zero SOL. If the sponsor is briefly rate-limited, the bridge falls back to a self-paid transaction (then a tiny SOL balance is needed). See Deposit.

Withdraw (bwickchain to Solana)

RequirementDetails
BWICK for chain tx~0.01 BWICK for the burn transaction on bwickchain
SOL for Solana txPaid by the relayer (no cost to user)
The withdrawal UI automatically reserves ~0.01 BWICK from your max balance for gas fees when you click “Max”.

The minimum deposit is configurable by the bridge admin and exists to prevent dust attacks on the pool vault.
