Why this route looks cheapest
The estimated total cost includes more than the headline trading fee. It combines the exchange fee, the spread between the buy price and mid-market, and any payment-rail surcharge into a single percentage. If spread evidence is available, it is modeled separately. This is a snapshot-backed estimate captured at a specific moment, not a live quote. Verify the raw capture in the public archive.
What this cost-first view evaluates
This view evaluates the lowest supported all-in cost for this scenario. It stays anchored to current cost evidence and leaves other route goals explicit.
What this evaluates
- All-in estimated cost for this scenario
- Payment-rail surcharge where the route supports it
- Modeled spread or execution drag where Augea can support it
- Snapshot-backed cost comparison rather than headline fee alone
What this does not evaluate
- Repeated-buy drag and route fit over ongoing purchases
- Setup friction, verification burden, and process overhead
- Withdrawal-path control and clean exit to self-custody

Payment rail
Card and bank routes can differ materially in cost and settlement behavior.
Market movement
Rapid market moves between snapshot capture and execution can shift totals.
