Afta charges only when you use the protocol — register a keyword, sell an XFT, or trade fund shares. Settings live on the bridge and canisters, not a SaaS dashboard.

Your wallet on afta.cash is your II principal — no custodial account.
02
Approve only what you spend
Mint and buys use ICRC-2 approve + transfer. You set the allowance; nothing is auto-subscribed.

Fees settle on-chain
Label fees escrow then distribute. Market and DAB fees split in the same transaction as the trade.
Where fees appear
Four places users meet protocol economics — explained without jargon.
Label registration
When you mint or renew a keyword
You pay per year of registration. Base annual registration is $14.99 USD, converted to ICP at mint/renew via the bridge rate. Premium keywords (admin-set) use a flat ICP-per-year instead.
Registration ~$14.99/year → ICP at current FX (settings[1])
Plus mintFeeXFT (settings[0], USD → ICP); total × years for types 1–6
Premium keywords: admin ICP/year overrides base label fees
Platform admins: free mint / renew
Escrow on XFT — refund if mint fails before commit
Marketplace sales
Taken from the sale price (seller side)
When someone buys an XFT, the listing price is split on-chain. Buyers still pay the listed price; fees come out of the settlement.
Platform fee ~3% (default)
Open market ~1.5% → Community Bag
Label / license split from XFT settings
First-sale DAB % can seed the Lead fund’s liquid
DAB trades (fund shares)
On buy / sell against a Tokenized Keyword bag
Bonding-curve style fund token of a Lead Label. Optional owner trade fee, staking fee, and BullRhun side pot — only when the fund owner turns them on.
Owner trade fee (0–5%) → owner claimable
Staking fee when staking is on
Flat DAB share-movement fee (default 0.005 ICP) on transfer, buy & redeem — paid by the trader/sender; parks to bag liquid if staking off, staking escrow if on. Bag wallet actions (swap, Betable, listings) are paid by the bag.
Platform admin traders: product trade fees waived
Network / cycles
Keeps canisters running
Some actions need cycles (compute). The platform keeps a buffer on each canister and sends surplus to the Community Bag so the network stays healthy.
Not a separate “subscription”
Surplus cycles → Community Bag
Low bags can request a cycles top-up

Rates are enforced by Motoko canisters on the Internet Computer. Platform admins can configure bridge and market parameters; they cannot silently invent a monthly charge in the browser.
