# Maximum Service Fee Maximum service fee $$ SF\_{max}=BF \times GF \times PF $$ Where: SF is a service fee \ BF is a base fee equal to 400,000 \ GF is the gas fee at a given moment \ PF is a protocol fee equivalent to the sum of the basic fee and the additional 5% fee (1+0.05) *\**Note: The basic fee may significantly drop, possibly even in half. Example: If current network gas price is 35 gwei, where gwei is, $$ \text{gwei}=10^{-9} , \text{ETH} $$ Then the maximum service fee would be $$ SF\_{max}=400000\times 35\times1.05, \text{gwei} \\ \=14700000,\text{gwei} \ =0.0147,\text{ETH} \\ \=1310,\text{KROM} $$ *(Calculation was done on December 13, and the price of KROM was equal to 0.00001122 ETH)* \ As previously mentioned, this is the maximum service fee which means the user may be charged up to 50% less than that amount under certain conditions. This test was conducted on Optimism and the gas price was 0.5 gwei. That means the above number can be divided by 70 to get the service fee estimate. i.e. use 0.5 gwei instead of 35 gwei in the above equation. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
