Abstract
Canton Fee Estimator is an open-source SDK and API that gives Canton developers accurate pre-submission transaction cost estimates — the eth_estimateGas equivalent Canton is missing today. Every funded DeFi project (ACME, Alpend, Cantex, Hecto) currently hard-codes its own fee buffer. When Canton upgrades its fee model, they all break independently. This tool fixes that with one maintained open-source standard.
