Estimate Fee

POST /byron-wallets/{walletId}/payment-fees

status: stable

Estimate fee for the transaction.

Path parameters

  • walletId string(hex) Required

    Minimum length is 40, maximum length is 40.

application/json

Body Required

  • payments array[object] Required

    A list of target outputs with amounts specified.

    When creating a new transaction, the wallet software ensures that all user-specified transaction outputs have ada amounts that satisfy the ledger minimum UTxO rule:

    • If a user-specified transaction output has an ada amount that is zero, the wallet software will automatically assign a minimal amount of ada to the output so that it satisfies the ledger minimum UTxO rule.

    • If a user-specified transaction output has an ada amount that is non-zero, the wallet software will verify that the specified amount is large enough to satisfy the ledger minimum UTxO rule. If the amount is not large enough, the wallet software will return a utxo_too_small error, together with a revised ada amount that does satisfy the minimum UTxO rule.

    At least 0 elements.

    • address string(base58|bech32) Required

      A sequence of characters that encodes (in Base58 or Bech32) a sequence of bytes which represents an address on the Cardano blockchain. Sequences in Base58 encoding are expected to be legacy Byron addresses, whereas sequences in Bech32 encoding correspond to current Shelley addresses.

      For more details, see CIP-0019 — Cardano addresses .

    • amount object Required

      Coins, in Lovelace. Only relates to 'Ada'. Refer to assets for multi-assets wallets instead.

      • quantity integer Required

        Minimum value is 0.

      • unit string Required

        Value is lovelace.

    • assets array[object]

      A flat list of assets (possibly empty).

      Hide assets attributes Show assets attributes object
      • policy_id string(hex) Required

        A unique identifier of the asset's monetary policy. The policy controls how assets of this kind are created and destroyed.

        The contents are the blake2b-224 hash of the monetary policy script, encoded in hexadecimal.

        Minimum length is 56, maximum length is 56.

      • asset_name string(hex) Required

        The asset on-chain type which acts as a sub-identifier within a policy. Although we call it "asset name", the value needn't be text, and it could even be empty.

        For policies with a single fungible asset item, asset name is typically an empty string.

        This value can be up to 32 bytes of arbitrary data (which is 64 hexadecimal digits).

        Maximum length is 64.

      • quantity integer Required

        Number of assets for the given policy_id and asset_name.

        Minimum value is 0.

    • minimum_coins array[object] Required

      A list of minimum coin values that each output in a payment must satisfy. The values themselves depends on two things:

      • (a) Some updatable protocol parameters fixed by the network.
      • (b) The nature of the outputs (i.e. the kind of assets it includes).

      The list is a direct 1:1 mapping of the requested outputs. Said differently, it has the same number of items and items are ordered in the same way as requested outputs are ordered. In the case where there's no explicitly requested outputs (e.g. when calculating fee for delegation), this list is empty.

      For example, an output containing only Ada may require to be of at least 1 Ada. An output containing only an hypothetical AppleCoin may require to also carry a minimum of 1.2 Ada. Note that no matter what, a minimum coin value is always given in Lovelace / Ada.

      ℹ️ This mechanism is used by the protocol to protect against flooding of the network with worthless assets. By requiring a minimum coin value to every UTxO, they are given an intrinsic value indexed itself on the value of Ada.
