What it costs
On this quote, $1,006 of SOL became $995 of BTC: about $11.08, or 1.10%, for everything taken out on the way. That includes the 0.15% Shieldz fee, the protocol's own fees and the gas to deliver to you. The network fee your wallet pays to send is extra.
MetaMask's built-in swap charges 0.875% and Phantom's 0.85% before any of that. Compare on your own amount.
Keep a little SOL in your wallet. It pays fees and the small rent deposit Solana needs when you receive a token for the first time.
