Estimate transaction fee

Estimates the transaction fee for a transaction request.

Note:

  • Supports all Fireblocks assets except ZCash (ZEC).
  • The NEM blockchain (XEM) has fixed transaction fees, so all three estimated fee levels return 0.

Gas multiplier

To prevent stuck transactions, Fireblocks applies a fixed multiplier to the gasLimit parameter for certain transaction types. The multiplier only affects EVM transactions in the following circumstances:

  • All non-base asset token transfers to or from any account are 1.2x the estimated fee.
  • All contract calls to or from any account are 1.6x the estimated fee.
  • All transfers to an exchange account from any account are 2.6x the estimated fee.
  • All transfers to an external whitelisted address from any account are 1.2x the estimated fee.
