DEX Net Fee & Slippage Comparison
DEX trading costs consist of network gas fees, pool liquidity provider fees (0.01%-1%), and slippage/price impact. This comparison tool breaks down total trade execution costs across leading chains and order sizes.
| Network | Gas Fee | DEX Fee | Total Cost | % of Trade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🟣 Solana (Raydium/Orca) | <$0.01 | $3.00 | $4.00 | 0.40% |
| 🔵 Base (Aerodrome/Uni) | $0.03 | $3.00 | $4.03 | 0.40% |
| 🔷 Arbitrum One (Camelot/Uni) | $0.08 | $3.00 | $4.08 | 0.41% |
| 🔴 Optimism (Velodrome) | $0.06 | $3.00 | $4.06 | 0.41% |
| ⟠ Ethereum L1 (Uniswap) | $5.85 | $3.00 | $9.85 | 0.99% |
Net Swap Cost = Network_Gas_USD + (Trade_Size * Pool_Fee_Rate) + (Trade_Size * Slippage_Rate) How It Works
Compare total trade cost across Ethereum L1, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Solana.
