What it costs to receive each coin: Cambio and other exchanges
Every swap has two costs: a commission inside the rate, and a network fee to send the coins you bought to your address. The second is flat, so on a small swap it can outweigh the first. Below is the network fee Cambio’s own quotes stated for each coin, with its date; each coin’s page sets it beside figures for other exchanges and explains why that chain costs what it does.
The fee Cambio’s quotes stated, coin by coin
Each fee is the one carried by Cambio’s newest quote for that coin on or before the date shown. It is set by Cambio’s liquidity provider and changes; where the quotes carried more than one value, the coin’s page lists them all. USDC and ETH on Arbitrum share their chain’s fee mechanics and appear on the USDT page for the same chain. Monero is not listed: Cambio’s Monero quotes carry no separate fee line.
What each exchange publishes about its withdrawal fee
None of them publishes a fee per coin, which is why each coin’s page shows figures fitted from checks of their websites or estimated from their quotes. Their own statements, with the page and the day we read it:
- ChangeNOW. No fee table. "The fees vary depending on the currency and the exchange amount" and are included in the estimate. changenow.io, read on 13 Sep 2026.
- SimpleSwap. "The fee depends on the blockchain, network load, and the asset you send or receive." simpleswap.io, read on 13 Sep 2026.
- ChangeHero. Withdrawal is "included in the service commission"; no separate figure. changehero.io, read on 13 Sep 2026.
- SideShift.ai. Names a sending fee, an address fee and a receiving fee, "estimated"; no figures published. docs.sideshift.ai, read on 13 Sep 2026.

When Cambio pays from its own wallets (not in use on 31 Oct 2026)
Cambio can also pay a swap out of wallets it holds itself. When it does, these are the fees its payout code charges, and a test holds this table to that code. None of the quotes behind the figures above used them: on those, the fee was the liquidity provider’s.

Why these differ from chain to chain. They are costs, not margins. For USDT on Tron Cambio staked TRX for the energy the transfers burn, so its own charge there is cost recovery. Paying a Solana token to a wallet that has never held it means opening that wallet’s token account, about 0.00203928 SOL each time. Bitcoin rides the mempool.
The rule underneath the table. No fixed cost of paying someone out may exceed what Cambio earns on the smallest swap it accepts on that route. A fee set below its own cost is a hole: whoever finds it can repeat it until the wallet is empty. Cambio found one — Solana token payouts once charged 0.000005 against a real cost of about $0.21 — and one automated sender ran 36 swaps through it before it was closed. A route that cannot be covered at a sensible price is withdrawn rather than quietly absorbed.
Frequently asked
Does Cambio charge a fee to send my coins?
Yes. Every Cambio quote that has one states its network fee as its own line, before you commit. That fee is set by Cambio’s liquidity provider, which sends the payout, and it changes, so the figures on this page carry the date of the quotes they came from.
Why does the fee differ so much from coin to coin?
Because each chain charges for different things. Tron charges energy for token transfers, Ethereum charges gas at a price set by demand, Solana charges rent of 0.00203928 SOL to open a token account for a first-time recipient, and bitcoin charges by transaction size at the mempool’s going rate. Each coin’s page explains its own chain.
Is the network fee the only cost of a swap?
No. A swap costs a commission inside the rate plus the cost of sending the coins. The second does not shrink with the size of the order, so on a small swap it can be most of what you lose. Compare what actually arrives, not the headline rate.
Where are the other exchanges’ withdrawal fees?
On each coin’s page, in labelled rows with their dates. None of the exchanges compared publishes a per-coin figure, so each row says whether it was fitted from checks of the exchange’s own website or estimated from the prices it quoted Cambio.
