This is a warning that Across.to low fees are actually misleading, I've been planning a large swap transaction and so i've been comparing a few bridges and across UI was showing from far the best rate, that was until i did the transaction.

My swap was 5 figures worth was almost showing 1:1, what i received was exactly -3.6% less than expected??!! that wasn't from gas or typo, but a spread buried in the exchange rate that is nowhere near clearly displayed before I confirmed the transaction.

That's something I'm wondering about, I've been using CowSwap for years after running away from Metamask and its ~2% slippage/fee swap system, and it has always been fine, until recently..

So i've done a swap from ETH to Wbtc as i'm borrowing on aave, and surprisingly I've got hit by a 1.6% fee, basically i've swapped 16 ETH and only received 0.441 WBTC. I've basically lost 500$.

And yes, i did check, it has come to their protocol fee address so I doubt it's actually a liquidity problem or anything related to that.
