Swap Fee Transparency

Background

NEAR Intents is a cross-chain swap protocol. It aggregates liquidity from competing market makers and executes swaps across 20+ blockchains. For registered partners, app-level fees are represented explicitly in the quote request and resulting transaction data.

Several public swap frontends use NEAR Intents infrastructure while applying their own app fee. Some disclose that fee directly; others expose it only through the effective exchange rate or public transaction metadata.

The numbers below come from the public appFees fields for the listed fee recipients. uSwap Zero sends quote requests with appFees: [].

On-Chain Fee Recipient

appFees: [{
  "recipient": "swapmybuddy.near",
  "fee": 72
}]

The sampled Swap.my transactions contain this fee entry. 72 basis points equals 0.72% of the swap input value.

Quote Discrepancy

In one test quote, Swap.my returned 0.748856 USDT for a 0.01 SOL swap. The NEAR Intents Explorer showed the solver fill at 0.749848 USDT. The difference is small on a sub-dollar swap, but it illustrates where rate-level app fees show up.

Public API Exposure

EagleSwap exposes an unauthenticated API at /api/swap/{id} that returns:

Full NEAR Intents quote responses including solver signatures
User wallet addresses (both recipient and refund)
Deposit addresses and correlation IDs
Recent swap feed at /api/swaps — no authentication required

Any user's swap can be looked up by anyone who knows the order ID. This is how the fee structure was identified without privileged access.

Unique Users Affected

The total above is the app-fee component visible in public NEAR Intents transaction data for the sampled fee recipients.

How We Found This

No private access is required. The methodology uses public transaction records and public API responses.

Identified the protocol: The services use NEAR Intents-style asset IDs, signatures, and deposit flows.
Identified fee recipients: Public transaction data shows app-fee recipients in the appFees field.
Queried by affiliate: The NEAR Intents Explorer API supports filtering by affiliate, which is the fee recipient address.
Summarized the results: The displayed totals are generated from the compact summary JSON embedded in this repository.

Why This Matters

App fees are a valid business model when they are clear to users. This comparison exists to make the fee surface easy to inspect.

uSwap Zero takes a different approach: it is open source, server-rendered, privacy-first, and sends quote requests without an app-fee recipient.
