Fees

Actions that change the ledger (issuing a token, sending it, or placing an order) carry a small protocol fee. What sets XChain apart is how you pay it: in the chain's own coin. If you have dogecoin, you can use the platform on Dogecoin without first hunting down some other token to cover gas.

You submit an action: issue a token, send, or trade

Pay in the coin you already have

Every fee can be paid in the native coin of the chain you're using. On Litecoin you pay in litecoin; on Dogecoin, in dogecoin. There's no separate gas token to acquire before you can do anything, which removes the most common first-step hurdle for newcomers.

Priced to stay steady

Fees are sized in real terms, not in a coin's swinging price. The network's price oracle converts each fee to the right amount of the coin at the moment you act, so the cost of issuing a token stays roughly the same whether the coin is up or down that week.

Where XCHAIN fits, honestly

The platform does have a gas token, XCHAIN, and fees are priced in it. You just never have to hold it: the price oracle converts the amount and you settle in the chain's own coin. On Litecoin and Dogecoin that is the only way fees are paid. On Bitcoin you get a choice, and can have the fee deducted from an XCHAIN balance instead if you happen to hold one.

Small, and the same everywhere

Fees are deliberately modest and identical across chains; issuing a token costs the same whether you do it on Bitcoin, Litecoin, or Dogecoin. A single network-wide setting scales all fees at once, and it's adjustable by validator governance rather than fixed in code, so the schedule can stay sensible as coin prices move.
