I found an inconsistency regarding fees, currently the Est. Processing Fees (exchange + network) fees are back high compared to my previous transactions, with the same amount of coins now the fee is back up.

The current fee is the same as the fee the first time I used the swap.
Then several times after I swapped, I found a fee that was quite cheap for Est. Processing Fees (exchange + network), I was already happy about it. But now the fee is high again.

I'm not sure if this has been discussed before but I'm curious to understand... AFAIK, b1exch uses Thorchain pools (not for all assets). What does that mean exactly when from my understanding, they are using their own liquidity? they added their liquidity to Thorchain pools, and now using those to process their users swaps? as opposed to build an instant-exchange type of setup?

Do we have a temporary slowdown? seems takes me a couple of seconds to load the platform.

I just tried to swap USDC to Ethereum just right now, and of course, in just a minute, it delivered my exchange already.

Mine got fixed upon quotation and until confirmation of the transaction, well, because it seems the page consistently reloads after 20s.

Edit: Forgot there is a date on it and it seems its a good catch you swapped early and pay less on the fees.

Yes, they used to use Thorchain pools (not for all assets), but they no longer do - according to a recent update here in this thread a few days ago. They now have their own liquidity pools, which can be viewed directly at https://b1exch.to/Liquidity (with visible balances).

Your assumption that they added their liquidity to Thorchain pools would indeed be a possible scenario (they would act as LPs themselves, and users would swap against their pool share) - but very few instant exchanges (to my knowledge) operate that way. Most of the time, they are simply users of the public pools. With b1exch, it’s a classic “proprietary liquidity setup”... they hold the capital themselves; swaps are processed internally and are therefore usually faster and cheaper.

Maybe b1ack could give us a little more insight here? It would certainly be interesting to know!

Yes, after the update I also believe that they've their own liquidity setup and they can process the swaps internally but since they're still working on it and thus the fees won't be low at this time but surely in future they might reduce their fees if liquidity of each coin goes higher in their wallets. The might show liquidity is there but when it grows to high values then they might keep most of it in cold storage for security reasons. The best move they've done is to move from Thorchain to their own liquidity setup, in long term that will be very important step for privacy.
