Fees
Kyro is free. Swaps cost 0.7%.
Downloading and using Kyro costs nothing. Sending, receiving and staking cost only the blockchain’s network fee. Swaps carry a 0.7% Kyro fee, shown before you confirm.
Example
200 USDC to ETH
The Kyro fee on a €185 swap is about €1.30. The network fee, paid to Ethereum, is about €1.12. Both are on screen before you confirm.

How the swap fee works
- The fee is 0.7% of the amount you swap. It is shown in the quote and again in the confirmation window.
- It is collected by each provider’s official integrator fee option. Kyro never adds a separate transfer to your transaction.
- Quotes are compared after fees: the best price shown already includes them.
- If a provider cannot apply the fee correctly, its quote is not shown.
- Providers may charge their own fee. It is already in the price they quote.
Network fees
Every blockchain charges a fee to process a transaction. It goes to the network’s miners or validators, not to Kyro. Kyro estimates it and shows it before you confirm. On Ethereum layer 2s like Arbitrum, Optimism and Base it is usually a few cents; on Bitcoin and Ethereum it changes with demand.
Why a swap fee
The fee pays for development. Kyro is open source, so the fee is public: it is set in one file of the code, capped at 1%, and anyone can build a version without it. Full details are in SWAP_FEES.md.
