Gas Station

​
What fee does Shinami charge for sponsorships?

For a limited time, our Aptos Gas Station will sponsor your transactions without charging any Shinami fees. Your fund will only pay the transaction fee charged by the Aptos blockchain for each sponsored transaction. After this promotional period, we will charge your Gas Station fund a small Shinami fee for each sponsorship created. For future-proofing to minimize fees, we encourage you to set a gas budget (gas_unit_price × max_gas_amount) that’s not unnecessarily high.

​
How do I view my fund balance and recent usage?

See our Aptos Gas Station Product FAQ for helpful guidance.

​
How do I view my monthly Gas Station billing summary statements?

We provide a monthly report of your sponsorship activity for your Mainnet funds. Visit the “Aptos Gas Station tab” of the Billing page in your Shinami dashboard to see the “Statements” table. You’ll find an entry for each month you’ve been sponsoring transactions on Mainnet. We add an entry for a new month 3-4 days after it ends. You can see a summary of your total sponsorships, as well as the total Aptos transaction fees and Shinami fees for those transactions. Click the + next to All in the Fund(s) column to see a breakdown by fund. I’ve clicked it below so now it’s a - that I can click to close the expanded row. You can also download a full report for the month, which is a CSV file containing each transaction sponsorship you made. You can do this by clicking the “Download” button in the “FULL REPORT” column.

Wallet Services

​
What is the cost?

When you create a Shinami account, you are automatically put on the free Wallet Services tier. This tier has a monthly wallet creation cap for Aptos wallets as shown in the “Aptos Wallet Services” tab of the Billing page in your Shinami dashboard. If you need more than this, or more than the default QPS, reach out to [email protected] and we can create a custom plan for you based on your committed usage and QPS needs. Even on the free tier, some Wallet Service requests can incur a cost due to their use of Gas Station to sponsor the transaction. In the API docs it will be clear when Gas Station services are used, and you will be charged as explained in the Gas Station section above.
