FAQ

How do fees work?

There are two separate costs, and keeping them apart is the whole answer. One is the network fee — what the blockchain itself charges to move a transaction, set by the chain and its current demand, not by halfin. The other is halfin's own commercial pricing, which is not published on this site yet. Anything you hear about a specific halfin rate is unconfirmed until it appears on an official pricing surface.
