Fees

Why fixed fees on small amounts?

Because two costs do not depend on the amount: the network cost and the payout rail fee.

Moving an asset on its chain costs the same for 100 units as for 10,000. Sending a transfer costs the same whatever amount it carries. Those two lines are fixed by nature.

The consequence is arithmetic: two euros of fixed fees is 0.02% on 10,000 euros and 2% on 100. That is why comparing two services at a single reference amount is meaningless — a provider can be cheapest at one amount and dearest at another.

It is also the reason for per-asset minimum deposits: below them, the fixed share makes the operation pointless for you.

Open a ticket with the order number and, if it concerns a deposit, the transaction hash. Those two items are usually enough to settle it with no further exchange.
