# Fee management

The logic of the [Client off-chain module](/infrastructure/client-off-chain-module.md) includes a mechanism for automatically calculating the amount of gas required for the transfer. 

At the moment of cross-chain transaction data encryption in the source network, the required amount of source network native currency is calculated to cover the cost of gas for transfer in the destination network. 

This amount of native currency of the source network is sent along with the encrypted data to initialize the transfer.

{% hint style="warning" %}
There is a possibility of a strong surge in the value of gas in the destination network. In this case, the sent native currency of the source network may not be enough to perform the transaction.

In this case, the transaction will be rejected by the [Translator smart contract](/infrastructure/asterizm-connector/translator-smart-contract.md).
{% endhint %}

You can adjust the amount of gas you are willing to spend on each message you transmit in the [Client off-chain module configuration](/guides/getting-started/2.-implement-off-chain-module/simple-implementation-shell-script.md#configuration-file-setup).<br>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.asterizm.io/guides/fee-management.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
