Two things make up the cost of moving money on Enta, and they work differently.
Network cost
This is what the blockchain itself charges. It isn’t ours and we don’t set it.
Enta labels every network on the send screen so you can see the trade-off before you commit. Most of the EVM chains and Spark are marked Free to send. Ethereum shows Gas fees apply. The main Bitcoin network carries a network fee and is slower by design — the trade-off for being the most widely supported route.
If you’re choosing the network yourself rather than matching what a recipient requires, one of the free options will always cost you less.
Conversion cost
This applies when you move between assets, or between crypto and local currency.
It’s built into the rate you’re quoted. You see your total before you confirm rather than finding a deduction afterwards, and nothing is added after the fact.
On a payment link, the conversion is built into what the payer sends — so you receive the full amount you asked for, and the payer sees their exact total before they send.
Larger conversions
For large amounts, the OTC desk executes directly at institutional rates with a person on the other end, rather than routing through the standard in-app flow.
