Thanks Selqui for the good ideas and I agree with most of them. From my own experience bridging tokens, I value speed and ease of use over differences is tens of dollars in USD equivalent value. Paying only once at the source chain is a major and important feature and cannot be compromised. The idea of paying for users for low cost chains is sound. I assume governance will need to come together if these chains start getting expensive down the road.
@Selqui said in Fee Structure for C3Router and C3Caller:
Using Ethereum as an example of the destination chain, the frontend would call a function on Ethereum that calculates the gas price and which returns one of LOW, NORMAL, HIGH, VERY HIGH. This would require the user to pay an extra fee of 0, 10, 20, 50 USDT
I like this idea and can we change this scale of success probability to 3-pt as in "LOW, RECOMMENDED, HIGH" - with RECOMMENDED being the default option. 3-pt scale is much easier for users to navigate.

If we could implement a fixed fee and they get CTM or Theia tokens if they overpay a transaction and have it airdrop on BNB chain
I disagree with this. There are times I am VERY HAPPY to overpay if my bridging has a high certainty of completion. If a user chose to overpay, CTM should pocket the excess fees.
@Selqui said in Fee Structure for C3Router and C3Caller:
How to top up the gas in the MPC in a decentralized way? We don't want to have to rely on a 'team' to do this. I suggest that we create a function on each chain that ANYONE can call to add gas to this wallet address.
I like this idea very much. Is it possible that part of the excess fees collected be used to incentivize top-ups? For example, to top up FTM to the MPC, I could deposit FTM in exchange for USDC tokens the MPC had collected as excess fees at a 10% discount. I wonder if this is too complex to implement.
Sorry for the slow reply - been busy. Great work Selqui!
