Fees & costs
Measured on Elysium mainnet from real transactions. Gas is negligible. The only cost that matters is the pool's own 1% fee, paid on each conversion.
Gas
| Operation | Gas used | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Swap | ~340,000 | $0.003 |
| Mint a position | ~307,000 | $0.0025 |
| Withdraw a position | ~145,000 | $0.001 |
| Full re-centre (withdraw, swap, mint) | ~790,000 | $0.0065 |
Pool fee and price impact
Each conversion through the pool pays 1%. Since only half of a deposit is converted, every step costs about 0.5% of the capital. Price impact is small at retail sizes: 0.02% for a $500 deposit, 0.19% at $5,000, 0.74% at $20,000.
| Deposit | Entry (HYPE → 50/50) | One re-centre | Exit to HYPE | Round trip |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $100 | $0.51 | $0.51 | $0.50 | $1.01 |
| $500 | $2.55 | $2.55 | $2.46 | $5.01 |
| $1,000 | $5.19 | $5.19 | $4.82 | $10.01 |
Break-even
At the launch-week pace, a $1,000 position in a ±5% band earned between $17 and $125 a day depending on the hour. The round-trip cost of about $10 is repaid in less than a day in every scenario we measured. There is no platform fee today.
Bridging
HyperEVM to Elysium costs about 0.0005 HYPE and lands in under a minute. Aggregators from other chains charge around 0.4%. Exiting Elysium through the official bridge costs gas only but takes 6 to 7 days; third-party OTC desks do it in minutes for about 3%.
