Fee Config Breaking Change

The fee_config field is required for non-enterprise tier customers. Requests without it return a missing_fee_config error.

​
Migration

Add fee_config to your create_payment_intent request body: 
{
  "source": { "type": "smart_account" },
  "destination": { "address": "<DESTINATION>", "network": "solana" },
  "amount": "1000000",
  "currency": "usdc",
  "fee_config": {
    "currency": "sol",
    "payer_address": "<PUBKEY_THAT_WILL_PAY_THE_FEE>"
  }
}
​
fee_config
object
required
Fee configuration specifying who pays the transaction fee and in which currency.

​
How Fees Work

  1. You submit a payment intent with fee_config.
  2. The API builds the transaction and calculates the fee (compute, signatures, and ATA rent if needed).
  3. A repayment instruction is appended that transfers the fee from payer_address to the paymaster.
  4. The response includes a fee object with the exact amount charged.

​
Fee Payer Signing

The payer_address must sign the transaction. The API automatically adds it as a required signer.
  • SOL fees: The payer needs enough SOL to cover the fee.
  • USDC fees: The payer needs enough USDC in their associated token account.

​
Response

When fee_config is provided, the response includes a fee field:
​
fee
object
Breakdown of the transaction fee charged.

​
Errors

missing_fee_config — Request has no fee_config (required for non-enterprise tier).
