LayerZero does not take or charge any additional fees outside of the Ethereum network gas fees, which are variable and depend on network congestion and the size of the transaction.
What is the Goerli Testnet Bridge?
The Testnet Bridge is a tool designed to help Ethereum developers overcome the challenge of acquiring Goerli-ETH for testing purposes. It creates an open market with immediate pricing for ETH/GOERLI-ETH, which is hosted on Uniswap on both Ethereum and Goerli. The pools are open for the community to LP and trade to achieve real price discovery and equilibrium.
