Fee Functions

calculateFeesSync(sendAmount, options?)

Calculate fees with dynamic fee rates.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
sendAmount	bigint	Amount of USDC to send (6 decimals)
options.indexerFee	bigint?	Indexer fee - DYNAMIC (default: 100000n)
options.resolverFee	bigint?	Resolver fee - DYNAMIC (default: 150000n)
options.protocolFeeBps	bigint?	Protocol fee in basis points (default: 10n)

Returns:

{
  burnAmount: bigint;      // Input send amount
  cctpFee: bigint;         // Network fee
  expectedAmount: bigint;  // Amount arriving at Smart Account
  protocolFee: bigint;     // Protocol fee
  indexerFee: bigint;      // Indexer operator fee (dynamic)
  resolverFee: bigint;     // Resolver operator fee (dynamic)
  totalFees: bigint;       // Sum of all fees after network fee
  amountForAction: bigint; // Available for action
}

Example:

import { calculateFeesSync } from '@pons-network/pons.js';
import { parseUnits } from 'viem';

// Standard speed
const standard = calculateFeesSync(parseUnits('15', 6));

// Fast speed (higher fees = faster)
const fast = calculateFeesSync(parseUnits('15', 6), {
  indexerFee: parseUnits('0.2', 6),
  resolverFee: parseUnits('0.3', 6),
});

// Economy (lower fees = slower but cheaper)
const economy = calculateFeesSync(parseUnits('15', 6), {
  indexerFee: parseUnits('0.05', 6),
  resolverFee: parseUnits('0.08', 6),
});

---

calculateBurnForAction(actionAmount, options?)

Reverse calculation: determine send amount needed for a specific action amount.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
actionAmount	bigint	Amount needed for action
options	Same as calculateFeesSync	Fee configuration

Returns: Same structure, but amountForAction equals input actionAmount.

Example:

// I need exactly 10 USDC for my action - how much to send?
const fees = calculateBurnForAction(parseUnits('10', 6));

// With fast execution
const fastFees = calculateBurnForAction(parseUnits('10', 6), {
  indexerFee: parseUnits('0.2', 6),
  resolverFee: parseUnits('0.3', 6),
});

---

validateActionFeasibility(sendAmount, actionCost, options?)

Validate if send amount is sufficient for an action.

Returns:

{
  feasible: boolean;       // Is it possible?
  burnAmount: bigint;      // Input send amount
  amountForAction: bigint; // Available after fees
  actionCost: bigint;      // Input action cost
  surplus: bigint;         // Extra amount if feasible
  shortfall: bigint;       // Missing amount if not feasible
  minimumBurn: bigint;     // Minimum send needed
  message: string;         // Human-readable message
}

---

DEFAULT_FEES

Default fee constants (standard market rate).

const DEFAULT_FEES = {
  CCTP_FEE_BPS: 1n,        // ~0.01% network fee
  PROTOCOL_FEE_BPS: 10n,   // ~0.1% protocol fee
  INDEXER_FEE: 100000n,    // 0.1 USDC (standard rate)
  RESOLVER_FEE: 150000n,   // 0.15 USDC (standard rate)
};

---

PonsClient

Main client for cross-chain operations.

Constructor

new PonsClient(config: PonsClientConfig)

Config:

interface PonsClientConfig {
  from: string | Chain;            // Source chain
  to: string | Chain;              // Destination chain
  sourceRpcUrl: string;            // Source chain RPC
  destinationRpcUrl: string;       // Destination chain RPC
  gatewayUrl?: string;             // Pons gateway URL
  factoryAddress?: Address;        // SmartAccountFactory address
}

Static Methods

PonsClient.create(config)

Create and initialize a PonsClient instance.

const pons = await PonsClient.create({
  from: Chain.SEPOLIA,
  to: Chain.ARC_TESTNET,
  sourceRpcUrl: '...',
  destinationRpcUrl: '...',
});

Instance Methods

execute(params, signer)

Execute a cross-chain transfer with action.

This method:

1. Has user sign EIP-712 action
2. Sends message on source chain
3. Publishes to Pons Network
4. Returns immediately (decentralized operators complete the rest)

Parameters:

interface CCTPTransferParams {
  amount: bigint;          // Amount to send
  action: ActionOptions;   // Action to execute on destination
}

Returns:

{
  txHash: Hex;                  // Source chain TX hash
  smartAccountAddress: Address; // User's Smart Account
  nonce: bigint;                // Transfer nonce
}

trackTransfer(txHash, smartAccount, nonce)

Create a transfer tracker to monitor execution.

const tracker = pons.trackTransfer(
  result.txHash,
  result.smartAccountAddress,
  result.nonce
);

calculateSmartAccountAddress(owner, salt)

Calculate the deterministic Smart Account address.

const address = await pons.calculateSmartAccountAddress(
  '0x1234...',
  0n
);

stop()

Cleanup and close connections.

await pons.stop();

---

ActionBuilder

Build complex cross-chain actions.

Constructor

new ActionBuilder()

Methods

addCall(target, calldata, value?)

Add a contract call to the action.

builder.addCall(
  '0xContract...',
  '0x...',      // Encoded calldata
  0n            // Optional ETH value
);

withFees(paymentToken, indexerFee, resolverFee)

Set fee configuration (dynamic fees).

// Standard fees
builder.withFees(USDC_ADDRESS, parseUnits('0.1', 6), parseUnits('0.15', 6));

// Fast fees
builder.withFees(USDC_ADDRESS, parseUnits('0.2', 6), parseUnits('0.3', 6));

needsEth(amount, reimbursement)

Request ETH from resolver.

builder.needsEth(
  parseEther('0.1'),    // ETH needed for action
  parseUnits('250', 6)  // USDC reimbursement to resolver
);

needsTokens(tokens, amounts, reimbursement)

Request tokens from resolver.

builder.needsTokens(
  [TOKEN_ADDRESS],
  [parseUnits('100', 18)],
  parseUnits('50', 6)
);

build(nonce, deadline, expectedAmount)

Build the final action object.

const action = builder.build(
  BigInt(Date.now()),
  BigInt(Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + 3600),
  expectedAmount
);

Static Methods

ActionBuilder.noAction(amount)

Create a no-action (simple bridge) configuration.

const action = ActionBuilder.noAction(parseUnits('100', 6));
