# Fees ## Stargate Transaction Fees/Rebates In V1, Stargate charged a flat 6 bps fee for all transactions via V1 pools. In V2, with the help of the AI Planning Module (AIPM) Stargate V2 enables dynamic fees. **How the Transaction Fee/Rebate is calculated:** This refers to the difference between the input by the user on the source chain and the received amount on the destination chain. **Why rebates exist**: As mentioned, the AIPM is in charge of ensuring liquidity is evenly distributed among all Stargate pools based on their utilisation. When a specific pathway has seen high levels of demand and the pool's liquidity depletes, a rebate is offered to help rebalance the liquidity in the system. **Fee allocation breakdown:** * **veSTG Holders:** 1/6 of all fees generated * **Protocol treasury:** 5/6 of all fees generated ## Stargate Gas Fees The Gas cost paid in the native gas token by the user entails payment for 2 things. 1. LayerZero's execution fee 2. Fee to the DVN for verifying the message between LayerZero endpoints --- # 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.
