Liquidium fee: 0.3%
Liquidium charges 0.3% (30 basis points) of the output after Rift deducts execution costs. Rift deducts the fee in the asset you buy. The estimated receive amount includes this deduction, so you do not add another 0.3% payment.
For example, if a route delivers 1,000 USDC after execution costs and before Liquidium's fee, Liquidium receives 3 USDC and you receive 997 USDC. This example excludes any later price movement.
Rift reports the fee in the delivery step of its quote. You can find that amount under Liquidium fee (0.30%). Rift rounds the fee down to the bought asset's smallest unit.
Rift charges no integrator fee on a refunded order. Rift can also skip a Bitcoin fee below the recipient address's dust threshold. Check the fee shown for your quote.
Route cost
The providers on your route charge their network, bridge, and trading costs. These costs vary with the pair, amount, liquidity, and network conditions.
Liquidium calculates Route cost by comparing the USD value you send with the estimated USD value you receive, then subtracting Liquidium's fee. This figure reflects execution pricing as well as costs. It is not an itemized bill from each provider.
The cost percentage beside the exchange rate includes Liquidium's fee. The expanded Route cost row excludes it.
Rift adds no separate aggregator fee. You still pay the underlying venue and network costs and Liquidium's 0.3% fee.
Sending your deposit
You pay your wallet's network fee to send the deposit. An exchange may charge a withdrawal fee instead. Those charges are separate from the output-based quote breakdown.
For an EVM token transfer, keep enough native gas currency on the source network. For an exchange withdrawal, check the amount the exchange will deliver after its withdrawal fee.
Price changes and refunds
Rift provides estimated quotes and selects the execution route after receiving funds. Your final output can differ from the estimate. Rift offers no maximum-slippage setting, so the quote does not guarantee a minimum receive amount.
If Rift cannot complete the route, it attempts to return funds in the original asset. Reversing the route incurs costs, so a refund can be smaller than your original deposit. Liquidium's swap fee does not apply to a refunded order.
