The toll
One coin for the ferryman: 1%
The toll is CHARON's only fee, a constant in the escrow contract. Here it is next to the other ways off Elysium, at the rates the community reports.

OTC and community rates are community-reported market rates, shown for context. They are not quotes, individual rates vary, and CHARON neither operates nor partners with those routes. Gas is extra on every route.
You pay
The 1% toll, plus Elysium gas for your deposit. Reclaims cost Elysium gas and no toll.
The ferryman pays
HyperEVM gas for your payout and for the pool's confirmation back to Elysium.
Stakers keep
The whole toll. It stays in the exit pool and vests into the OBOL exchange rate.
