§ 06 public utilities
Bitcoin fee recommender
Current sat/vByte rates for fast / standard / economy confirmation on mainnet. Sourced from real provider RPC via the chainkit SDK — the same routing logic that runs in production for our customers.
how this works
Same SDK we ship to customers.
This page calls /v1/public/btc/fees, which
asks the chainkit SDK to recommend fee tiers across whatever providers are in rotation. The
SDK picks the healthiest one, retries on failure, scores them down on slow responses —
exactly the behaviour you get when you build your own app with chainkit.
api · same call, in code
Use this in your code.
The lookup above is a real call to chainkit's public API. Here's the same request as curl, in Go via the SDK, and the raw JSON response — everything you need to wire it into your own app.
curl -sS '/v1/public/btc/fees'tiers, err := provider.GetTxFees(ctx)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
for _, t := range tiers {
fmt.Printf("%d sat/vB · ~%d blocks\n", t.FeeRate, t.TargetBlock)
}// run the lookup above to see the live response
