Description

@truthixify

Tier: M (2-4 days) Type: writing

Context

Stellar has classic op fees, Soroban resource fees, fee-bump envelopes, and surge pricing. Predictable budgeting requires understanding all four. One guide makes it concrete.

Scope

Write docs/guides/stellar-fees.mdx:

  • Classic op fee model (base fee × op count)
  • Soroban resource fee components (instructions, mem, read/write entries, bytes)
  • Network surge pricing
  • Fee-bump transaction mechanics (when to use, who pays)
  • Per-Wraith-operation typical fees on testnet (with stellar/PERF.md numbers)
  • SDK fee-estimation helper usage
  • Budgeting heuristics for production apps

Acceptance criteria

  • Page committed
  • Numbers cited from contracts/stellar/PERF.md baseline
  • Worked examples for send / withdraw / batch
  • Linked from SDK + quickstart

Files to start with

  • New: docs/guides/stellar-fees.mdx
  • contracts/stellar/PERF.md
