### What is a Bridge fee?

* A **Bridge Fee** is a fee paid for each bridge transfer. 
* Regular bridge transfer requires **2** transactions: **Send** transaction on the source chain and **Receive** transaction on the destination chain. The Bridge Fee is only paid for **Send** transactions.
* The fee is paid in the **same** token that is transferred.

### How can I reduce the Bridge Fee?

You can reduce the Bridge Fee through ABR staking. 

More information about the ABR staking is available here:

{% endcontent-ref %}

### How is the Bridge Fee calculated?

* **Bridge Fee** may vary depending on the blockchain (please see the table above for a complete breakdown). For example, if 1000 USDC is transferred from Solana, the bridge charges 1000 USDC \* 0.003 = 3 USDC.
* It is calculated **before** the Send transaction is triggered.
* Allbridge Classic **Stakers** may reduce the Bridge Fee if they stake their ABR on the source chain.

### What happens if I don’t have gas in the destination wallet?

The user is required to pay the Gas Fee twice: during the “Send” transaction and “Receive” transaction.

However, Allbridge Classic allows you to pay an additional fee and delegate the “Receive” transaction to the bridge on *certain chains*. You may find more information about the feature here:
