How to change the transaction fee

[vpanwar821]

Currently asch is charging 10000000 as a transaction fee but I want to reduce it to some 1% of the transaction amount in my platform . Can anyone help me with this as I am not able to find where it is setting the fees.

@vpanwar821 what do you mean with my platform?

1 If you are meaning your Sidechain (or DApp)

As far as I know, you can't set the transaction fee to 1% on your sidechain. You can set the fee for a custom contract on the sidechain to a fixed value (documented here)

2 If you mean the ASCH mainchain

The fee calculation does not happen in the main asch repo.

Change the following code in asch-core/src/utils/calculate-fee.js

 1: () => 0.1,

In #224 you can see the fee calculation and the contract names. You need to change contract 1 if you want to transfer XAS.

1. You would need to fork the asch-core repo
2. change the asch-core/src/utils/calculate-fee.js file.
3. Push changes to https://github.com/vpanwar821/asch-core
4. Change package.json file in your downloaded asch repo to point to your updated asch-core version

- "asch-core": "https://github.com/AschPlatform/asch-core/tarball/v1.4.4",
+ "asch-core": "https://github.com/vpanwar821/asch-core",

5. Rebuild downloaded asch blockchain
