Key Improvements

  1. Centralization: All fee logic in one module
  2. Transparency: Complete fee breakdowns
  3. Flexibility: Corridor-based configurations
  4. Maintainability: Single place to update
  5. Testability: Isolated module easy to test
  6. Correctness: Built-in validation
  7. Security: Checked arithmetic throughout
  8. Documentation: Comprehensive docs

Performance Characteristics

  • Fee Calculation: O(1) - constant time
  • Corridor Lookup: O(1) - single storage read
  • Batch Processing: O(n) - linear in number of amounts
  • Storage Operations: O(1) - direct key access
  • Memory Usage: Minimal - no large data structures

Net Settlement Execution (#834)

Overview

execute_net_settlement is the on-chain execution path for netting.rs. It moves only the net difference between opposing agent flows instead of executing every individual remittance transfer, dramatically reducing on-chain token transfer count.

Authorization

Only addresses holding the Admin role (settlement operators) may call this function. The caller must require_auth() and pass require_role_admin() before any state changes.

Flow

operator calls execute_net_settlement(operator, [id1, id2, ...])
    │
    ├─ 1. Auth: operator.require_auth() + require_role_admin()
    ├─ 2. Guard: contract not paused, batch size 1–50
    ├─ 3. Load: fetch all Pending remittances, reject expired/settled
    │
    ├─ 4. Compute: netting::compute_net_settlements()
    │       Groups flows by (party_a, party_b) pair (address-sorted for determinism)
    │       Offsets opposing flows — e.g. A→B 100 and B→A 90 → net 10 A→B
    │
    ├─ 5. Validate: netting::validate_net_settlement() — fees must be conserved
    │
    ├─ 6. Execute net token transfers (contract → recipient, payout = net - fees)
    │       Accumulate fees into platform fee pool
    │       Emit settlement_completed event per net transfer
    │
    └─ 7. Finalize: mark each remittance Completed, set settlement hash,
              emit remittance_completed per remittance
              return BatchSettlementResult { settled_ids }

Example

Remittance Direction Amount Fee
#1 A → B 100 2
#2 B → A 90 1

Result: Single net transfer of 9 (= 10 net − 1 fee) from A to B. Total fees collected: 3 (2 + 1).

Key Properties

  • Single call: all net transfers execute atomically in one contract invocation.
  • Deterministic: address-pair ordering is canonical; same input always produces same output.
  • Fee-preserving: total fees in = total fees out (validated before execution).
  • DoS-safe: batch capped at MAX_NETTING_BATCH_SIZE (50).

Data Structures

FeeBreakdown

Complete breakdown of all fees for a transaction.

pub struct FeeBreakdown {
    pub amount: i128,
    pub platform_fee: i128,
    pub protocol_fee: i128,
    pub total_fees: i128,
    pub net_amount: i128,
    pub strategy_used: FeeStrategy,
    pub corridor_applied: Option<FeeCorridor>,
}

Fields:

  • amount - Original transaction amount
  • platform_fee - Platform fee charged
  • protocol_fee - Protocol fee charged (sent to treasury)
  • total_fees - Sum of platform_fee + protocol_fee
  • net_amount - Amount after all fees (amount - total_fees)
  • strategy_used - Fee strategy that was applied
  • corridor_applied - Corridor configuration if used

Validation: The breakdown includes a validate() method that ensures:

  • total_fees = platform_fee + protocol_fee
  • net_amount = amount - total_fees
  • All amounts are non-negative

FeeCorridor

Configuration for country-to-country fee rules.

pub struct FeeCorridor {
    pub from_country: String,
    pub to_country: String,
    pub strategy: FeeStrategy,
    pub protocol_fee_bps: Option<u32>,
}

Fields:

  • from_country - Source country code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, e.g., "US")
  • to_country - Destination country code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, e.g., "MX")
  • strategy - Fee calculation strategy for this corridor
  • protocol_fee_bps - Optional protocol fee override (if None, uses global setting)

FeeStrategy

Fee calculation strategy enum.

pub enum FeeStrategy {
    Percentage(u32),  // Basis points (250 = 2.5%)
    Flat(i128),       // Fixed amount
    Dynamic(u32),     // Tiered based on amount
}

Variants:

  1. Percentage(bps) - Fee as percentage of amount

    • bps - Basis points (1 bps = 0.01%, max 10000 = 100%)
    • Example: Percentage(250) = 2.5%

  2. Flat(amount) - Fixed fee regardless of transaction size

    • amount - Fixed fee amount
    • Example: Flat(100) = 100 units

  3. Dynamic(base_bps) - Tiered fees based on amount ranges

    • base_bps - Base fee in basis points
    • Tiers:
      • Amount < 1000: base_bps
      • 1000 ≤ Amount < 10000: base_bps / 2
      • Amount ≥ 10000: base_bps / 4
    • Example: Dynamic(400) = 4% for small, 2% for medium, 1% for large

Internal Service Functions

These functions are used internally by the contract but not exposed as public methods.

calculate_platform_fee

Calculates only the platform fee (backward compatible).

pub fn calculate_platform_fee(
    env: &Env,
    amount: i128,
) -> Result<i128, ContractError>

Used by create_remittance() to calculate the fee when creating a new remittance.

calculate_batch_fees

Aggregates fees for multiple transactions.

pub fn calculate_batch_fees(
    env: &Env,
    amounts: &[i128],
    corridor: Option<&FeeCorridor>,
) -> Result<FeeBreakdown, ContractError>

Used for batch settlement operations to calculate total fees across multiple remittances.

Error Handling

The fee service returns standard ContractError variants:

  • InvalidAmount - Amount is zero, negative, or invalid
  • InvalidFeeBps - Fee basis points exceed maximum (10000)
  • Overflow - Arithmetic overflow in calculation
  • NotInitialized - Contract not properly initialized

Usage Patterns

Pattern 1: Display Fees to User

// Before user commits to transaction, show fee breakdown
let breakdown = client.calculate_fee_breakdown(&amount);

display_to_user(&format!(
    "Amount: {}\n\
     Platform Fee: {}\n\
     Protocol Fee: {}\n\
     Total Fees: {}\n\
     You will receive: {}",
    breakdown.amount,
    breakdown.platform_fee,
    breakdown.protocol_fee,
    breakdown.total_fees,
    breakdown.net_amount
));

Pattern 2: Corridor-Based Pricing

// Check if corridor exists for this country pair
let corridor = client.get_fee_corridor(&from_country, &to_country);

let breakdown = if let Some(corr) = corridor {
    // Use corridor-specific rates
    client.calculate_fee_breakdown_with_corridor(&amount, &corr)?
} else {
    // Use default rates
    client.calculate_fee_breakdown(&amount)?
};

Pattern 3: Admin Configuration

// Set up multiple corridors
let corridors = vec![
    FeeCorridor {
        from_country: String::from_str(&env, "US"),
        to_country: String::from_str(&env, "MX"),
        strategy: FeeStrategy::Percentage(150),
        protocol_fee_bps: Some(50),
    },
    FeeCorridor {
        from_country: String::from_str(&env, "US"),
        to_country: String::from_str(&env, "PH"),
        strategy: FeeStrategy::Percentage(200),
        protocol_fee_bps: Some(75),
    },
];

for corridor in corridors {
    client.set_fee_corridor(&admin, &corridor)?;
}

Migration Guide

From Old API

Old way (before refactor):

// Fee was calculated internally, no breakdown available
let remittance_id = client.create_remittance(&sender, &agent, &amount, &None);
let remittance = client.get_remittance(&remittance_id);
// Only remittance.fee was available

New way (after refactor):

// Get complete breakdown before creating remittance
let breakdown = client.calculate_fee_breakdown(&amount);
// Show breakdown to user
display_fees(&breakdown);
// Then create remittance
let remittance_id = client.create_remittance(&sender, &agent, &amount, &None);

Best Practices

  1. Always show fee breakdown to users before they commit to a transaction
  2. Use corridors for cross-border transactions to optimize fees
  3. Cache corridor lookups if making multiple calculations for same country pair
  4. Validate amounts before calling fee calculation functions
  5. Handle errors gracefully and provide clear error messages to users

Performance Considerations

  • Fee calculations are O(1) - constant time
  • Corridor lookups are O(1) - single storage read
  • Batch calculations are O(n) where n is number of amounts
  • No network calls or external dependencies

Security Notes

  • All arithmetic uses checked operations to prevent overflow
  • Corridor management requires admin authentication
  • Fee breakdowns self-validate for consistency
  • Input validation at service boundary
  • Type-safe Rust implementation prevents common errors

Version History

v1.0.0 (Current)

  • Initial release of centralized fee service
  • Support for corridor-based configurations
  • Complete fee breakdown functionality
  • Three fee strategies: Percentage, Flat, Dynamic

Refactor Summary

Overview

Successfully centralized all fee calculation logic into a dedicated fee_service module that provides:

  • Unified fee calculation interface - Single source of truth for all fee logic
  • Corridor-based fee configurations - Country-to-country specific fee rules
  • Detailed fee breakdowns - Complete transparency of all fee components
  • No logic duplication - All fee calculations route through centralized service

Architecture

Core Components

1. Fee Service Module (src/fee_service.rs)

The central fee calculation engine with the following key functions:

// Primary entry point - calculates complete fee breakdown
pub fn calculate_fees_with_breakdown(
    env: &Env,
    amount: i128,
    corridor: Option<&FeeCorridor>,
) -> Result<FeeBreakdown, ContractError>

// Backward compatible - calculates only platform fee
pub fn calculate_platform_fee(
    env: &Env,
    amount: i128,
) -> Result<i128, ContractError>

// Batch processing - aggregates fees for multiple transactions
pub fn calculate_batch_fees(
    env: &Env,
    amounts: &[i128],
    corridor: Option<&FeeCorridor>,
) -> Result<FeeBreakdown, ContractError>

2. Data Structures

FeeCorridor - Country-to-country fee configuration:

pub struct FeeCorridor {
    pub from_country: String,      // ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code
    pub to_country: String,         // ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code
    pub strategy: FeeStrategy,      // Fee calculation strategy
    pub protocol_fee_bps: Option<u32>, // Optional protocol fee override
}

FeeBreakdown - Complete fee transparency:

pub struct FeeBreakdown {
    pub amount: i128,               // Original transaction amount
    pub platform_fee: i128,         // Platform fee charged
    pub protocol_fee: i128,         // Protocol fee charged
    pub total_fees: i128,           // Sum of all fees
    pub net_amount: i128,           // Amount after fees
    pub strategy_used: FeeStrategy, // Strategy applied
    pub corridor_applied: Option<FeeCorridor>, // Corridor if used
}

Fee Strategies

The service supports three fee calculation strategies:

  1. Percentage - Fee based on percentage of amount (basis points)

    • Example: FeeStrategy::Percentage(250) = 2.5%

  2. Flat - Fixed fee regardless of amount

    • Example: FeeStrategy::Flat(100) = 100 units

  3. Dynamic - Tiered fees based on amount ranges

    • Example: FeeStrategy::Dynamic(400) = 4% base
    • <1000: 4%, 1000-10000: 2%, >10000: 1%

Integration Points

1. Contract Initialization

No changes required - existing initialization works with new service.

2. Remittance Creation

Before:

let strategy = get_fee_strategy(&env);
let fee = calculate_fee(&env, &strategy, amount)?;

After:

let fee = fee_service::calculate_platform_fee(&env, amount)?;

3. Payout Confirmation

Before:

let protocol_fee_bps = get_protocol_fee_bps(&env);
let protocol_fee = remittance.amount
    .checked_mul(protocol_fee_bps as i128)?
    .checked_div(10000)?;
let payout_amount = remittance.amount
    .checked_sub(remittance.fee)?
    .checked_sub(protocol_fee)?;

After:

let fee_breakdown = fee_service::calculate_fees_with_breakdown(
    &env,
    remittance.amount,
    None,
)?;
let payout_amount = fee_breakdown.net_amount;
let protocol_fee = fee_breakdown.protocol_fee;

New Public API Methods

Fee Breakdown Calculation

// Calculate fees without corridor
pub fn calculate_fee_breakdown(
    env: Env,
    amount: i128,
) -> Result<FeeBreakdown, ContractError>

// Calculate fees with corridor-specific rules
pub fn calculate_fee_breakdown_with_corridor(
    env: Env,
    amount: i128,
    corridor: FeeCorridor,
) -> Result<FeeBreakdown, ContractError>

Corridor Management

// Set corridor configuration (admin only)
pub fn set_fee_corridor(
    env: Env,
    caller: Address,
    corridor: FeeCorridor,
) -> Result<(), ContractError>

// Get corridor configuration
pub fn get_fee_corridor(
    env: Env,
    from_country: String,
    to_country: String,
) -> Option<FeeCorridor>

// Remove corridor configuration (admin only)
pub fn remove_fee_corridor(
    env: Env,
    caller: Address,
    from_country: String,
    to_country: String,
) -> Result<(), ContractError>

Usage Examples

Example 1: Calculate Fee Breakdown

// Get complete fee breakdown for a transaction
let breakdown = client.calculate_fee_breakdown(&10000);

println!("Amount: {}", breakdown.amount);           // 10000
println!("Platform Fee: {}", breakdown.platform_fee); // 250 (2.5%)
println!("Protocol Fee: {}", breakdown.protocol_fee); // 100 (1%)
println!("Total Fees: {}", breakdown.total_fees);     // 350
println!("Net Amount: {}", breakdown.net_amount);     // 9650

Example 2: Configure Corridor-Based Fees

// Set up US -> Mexico corridor with lower fees
let corridor = FeeCorridor {
    from_country: String::from_str(&env, "US"),
    to_country: String::from_str(&env, "MX"),
    strategy: FeeStrategy::Percentage(150), // 1.5% instead of default 2.5%
    protocol_fee_bps: Some(50),             // 0.5% protocol fee
};

client.set_fee_corridor(&admin, &corridor);

// Calculate fees using corridor
let breakdown = client.calculate_fee_breakdown_with_corridor(
    &10000,
    &corridor,
);

println!("Platform Fee: {}", breakdown.platform_fee); // 150 (1.5%)
println!("Protocol Fee: {}", breakdown.protocol_fee); // 50 (0.5%)
println!("Net Amount: {}", breakdown.net_amount);     // 9800

Example 3: Retrieve Corridor Configuration

// Get existing corridor configuration
let corridor = client.get_fee_corridor(
    &String::from_str(&env, "US"),
    &String::from_str(&env, "MX"),
);

if let Some(corr) = corridor {
    println!("Corridor exists: {} -> {}", corr.from_country, corr.to_country);
}

Benefits

  • Easier maintenance - Changes in one place affect entire system
  • Reduced bugs - No duplicate logic to keep in sync

2. Transparency

  • Complete breakdowns - Users see all fee components
  • Audit trail - Fee calculations are traceable
  • Validation - Built-in consistency checks

3. Flexibility

  • Corridor support - Country-specific fee rules
  • Multiple strategies - Percentage, flat, or dynamic fees
  • Protocol fees - Separate treasury fees

4. Correctness

  • Overflow protection - All arithmetic uses checked operations

Testing

The fee service includes comprehensive unit tests:

#[test]
fn test_fee_breakdown_validation()
fn test_calculate_fees_percentage()
fn test_calculate_fees_with_corridor()
fn test_batch_fees()
fn test_flat_fee_strategy()
fn test_dynamic_fee_strategy()
fn test_zero_amount_rejected()
fn test_negative_amount_rejected()

All existing tests continue to pass, ensuring backward compatibility.

Migration Path

For Existing Deployments

  1. No breaking changes - Existing contracts continue to work
  2. Gradual adoption - New features can be adopted incrementally
  3. Backward compatible - Old API methods still function

For New Deployments

  1. Use calculate_fee_breakdown() for transparency
  2. Configure corridors for cross-border optimization
  3. Leverage detailed breakdowns in UI/UX

Code Quality

Eliminated Duplication

Before: Fee calculation logic appeared in:

  • src/fee_strategy.rs - Strategy-based calculation
  • src/lib.rs - Protocol fee calculation in confirm_payout
  • Inline calculations scattered across codebase

After: All fee logic centralized in:

  • src/fee_service.rs - Single module with all calculations

Improved Maintainability

  • Clear separation - Fee logic isolated from business logic
  • Documented - Comprehensive inline documentation
  • Tested - Full test coverage of all scenarios
  • Type-safe - Strong typing prevents errors

Performance

  • No overhead - Centralization doesn't add computational cost
  • Efficient - Batch operations optimize multiple calculations
  • Cached - Storage reads minimized through smart design

Security

  • Overflow protection - All arithmetic uses checked operations
  • Validation - Input validation at service boundary
  • Consistency checks - Fee breakdowns self-validate
  • Admin controls - Corridor management requires admin auth

Future Enhancements

Potential future additions to the fee service:

  1. Time-based fees - Different rates for different times
  2. Volume discounts - Lower fees for high-volume users
  3. Currency-specific fees - Different rates per currency
  4. Fee caps - Maximum fee limits
  5. Fee floors - Minimum fee amounts

Conclusion

The fee calculation service refactor successfully:

✅ Centralizes all fee logic into a dedicated module
✅ Supports corridor-based fee configurations
✅ Returns full fee breakdowns for transparency
✅ Eliminates all duplicated fee logic
✅ Maintains backward compatibility
✅ Improves code maintainability
✅ Enhances security and correctness

The refactor meets all acceptance criteria and provides a solid foundation for future fee-related enhancements.

  • src/storage.rs - Added corridor storage functions and DataKey

🎯 Key Features

Centralized Fee Service

// Single entry point for all fee calculations
pub fn calculate_fees_with_breakdown(
    env: &Env,
    amount: i128,
    corridor: Option<&FeeCorridor>,
) -> Result<FeeBreakdown, ContractError>

Corridor Support

// Country-to-country fee configuration
pub struct FeeCorridor {
    pub from_country: String,
    pub to_country: String,
    pub strategy: FeeStrategy,
    pub protocol_fee_bps: Option<u32>,
}

Complete Transparency

// Full fee breakdown
pub struct FeeBreakdown {
    pub amount: i128,
    pub platform_fee: i128,
    pub protocol_fee: i128,
    pub total_fees: i128,
    pub net_amount: i128,
    pub strategy_used: FeeStrategy,
    pub corridor_applied: Option<FeeCorridor>,
}

🔧 Technical Implementation

Architecture

  • Module: src/fee_service.rs - Centralized fee calculation engine
  • Storage: Persistent corridor configurations indexed by country pairs
  • API: Public methods for fee calculation and corridor management
  • Validation: Built-in consistency checks and overflow protection

Fee Strategies Supported

  1. Percentage - Basis points (e.g., 250 = 2.5%)
  2. Flat - Fixed amount regardless of transaction size
  3. Dynamic - Tiered fees based on amount ranges

Integration Points

  • create_remittance() - Uses calculate_platform_fee()
  • confirm_payout() - Uses calculate_fees_with_breakdown()
  • Public API - Exposes fee breakdown and corridor management

🚀 Usage Examples

Calculate Fee Breakdown

let breakdown = client.calculate_fee_breakdown(&10000);
// Returns: FeeBreakdown with all fee components

Configure Corridor

let corridor = FeeCorridor {
    from_country: String::from_str(&env, "US"),
    to_country: String::from_str(&env, "MX"),
    strategy: FeeStrategy::Percentage(150),
    protocol_fee_bps: Some(50),
};
client.set_fee_corridor(&admin, &corridor);

Use Corridor

let breakdown = client.calculate_fee_breakdown_with_corridor(
    &10000,
    &corridor,
);
// Returns: FeeBreakdown using corridor-specific rates
