Introduction

Embedded Fees let you add your fee (on deposit, withdrawal, performance, management, your choice) inside the same user-signed transaction that executes the DeFi flow. It’s fully non-custodial, one atomic transaction, and no new smart contracts. This guide shows how to bundle three actions into a single atomic transaction using the Compass SDK:
  • Approve: Set ERC-20 allowance on Morpho
  • Fee: transfer a portion of the asset to your fee address
  • Deposit: deposit tokens on Morpho
This pattern generalizes: you can combine any supported actions ( Aave/Morpho/Uniswap/Pendle/Sky, and any ERC‑4626 vault) in one bundle.
By adding a fee step, you get paid automatically whenever users transact with your DeFi product built with the Compass API.

Initialize SDK and Account

The full, uninterrupted code is available at the end of the tutorial.

​
Get Authorization

Before you can bundle transactions, you need to get an authorization from the Compass API and sign it with your private key. This ensures only you can execute the batch.
1

Get and Sign Authorization

Request authorization from the Compass API and sign it with your wallet to authenticate the transaction batching.

​
Bundle the Actions

Now let’s bundle the allowance, transfer, and deposit actions for atomic execution. This step shows how to combine both actions into a single transaction using the Compass API.
1

Create Bundled Transaction

Bundle the allowance, transfer, and deposit actions for atomic execution. This step shows how to combine both actions into a single transaction using the Compass API.Any transactional endpoint in the Compass API can be turned into an action, see API Reference.

​
Execute the Transaction:

The final step is to sign and broadcast the transaction to the network. This will execute your bundled actions in a single atomic transaction.
1

Sign and Broadcast Transaction

Sign the returned transaction with your private key and broadcast it to the network. Use the helper function we defined above to do this. This is the final step to actually send your bundled transaction to Ethereum.
For further practice, try bundling different combinations of actions, test with various token pairs, or explore other Compass Bundler features to create more complex transaction bundles.
