• fwd_fee (integer) — The forward fee.

Use case

The estimateFee endpoint is useful for various applications that need to estimate transaction costs on the TON blockchain:

1. Wallet applications can use this to show users the expected cost of a transaction before they send it.
2. Smart contract developers can use this to estimate the cost of deploying or interacting with contracts.
3. DApp developers can integrate this to provide users with accurate fee estimates for transactions.
4. Automated trading systems can use this to factor in transaction costs when making trading decisions.
5. Fee optimization tools can use this endpoint to suggest optimal transaction parameters.
