What are the Fees to Bridge to Cosmos?

The fees are variable and depend on the token you’re transferring. The cheapest tokens to bridge from Ethereum to Cosmos are ETH and USDT, and should cost less than $15 to transfer (which may vary depending on your transfer size). USDC and DAI are slightly more expensive because there is less liquidity which results in more slippage.
