Fees

Fees align incentives across consumers, suppliers, and the protocol. They fund verification, development, and sustainable network operations.

Protocol Fee

A small fee is applied to settled revenue. This supports ongoing development, security hardening, and ecosystem grants.

Verification Budget

A portion of fees can fund validators, audits, and SLA enforcement. Strong verification improves quality, which increases demand.

Transparent Receipts

Consumers see a clear breakdown: supplier price, protocol fee, and any verification surcharge. This reduces disputes and simplifies accounting.

Incentive Flywheel

Better quality increases usage; more usage increases fees; fees fund verification and ecosystem growth; suppliers see higher retention.
