What are the fees in DeFi products? (General summary)
DeFi transactions have two fee items: the provider fee and the network (gas) fee. Both are taken into account before the transaction and appear as separate rows in the transaction details afterwards. Rates are not fixed; you can always see the current values in the app.
Which fees apply to DeFi products?
| Item | What it is paid for | Where it appears |
|---|---|---|
| Provider fee | The commission charged for executing the DEX transaction | The rate on the minimum received info screen; the Commission row in the transaction details afterwards |
| Network (gas) fee | The amount paid to the network for processing the transaction on the blockchain | The Network fee row in the transaction details afterwards |
These two items are included in the Minimum Received calculation on the summary screen. In other words, the lower limit you see on the screen is the minimum amount you will receive after fees are deducted.
Where can I see the fees?
Before the transaction, tapping the info icon next to the Minimum Received row on the summary screen opens a screen that states the provider fee rate. After the transaction is complete, you see the Commission and Network fee rows separately in the transaction details — the commission shown there is the actual rate applied to that transaction.
Note: Fee rates and transaction limits may be updated from time to time. For this reason no rate is given in this article; check the summary screen before transacting and the transaction details afterwards
Items that are not fees
- Slippage (price slippage) is not a fee. It is the price difference resulting from the balance in the liquidity pool; details are in the What are slippage (price slippage) and price impact? article
- Wallet creation and recovery are not charged
- Using your balance in DeFi has no separate transfer fee — the DEX works directly with your Paribu balance

Frequently asked questions
How much fee do I pay?
The provider fee rate is not fixed. You can check it before the transaction on the Minimum Received info screen and afterwards in the Commission row of the transaction details.
Is there also a network (gas) fee?
The network fee is an item separate from the provider fee and appears as its own row in the transaction details. However, this fee is also deducted when the minimum received amount on the summary screen is calculated.
Is creating a DeFi wallet charged?
No. Wallet creation and recovery are not charged.
Do I pay a fee if the transaction cannot be completed?
When a transaction cannot be completed, your balance does not change; the blocked amount returns to your available balance.
