Pricing
No software, account, setup, or subscription fee from Foinse. The protocol charges a disclosed processing toll on compute-token movement and on external-money ramps.

Initial processing tolls
These are provisional starting parameters. The applicable toll is disclosed per movement and posted on the receipt.
| Movement | Rail or denomination | Initial toll |
|---|---|---|
| Compute-token movement | Provider-denominated bearer value | 5% |
| External-money ramp | Base USDC | 5% |
| External-money ramp | Card | 5.5% |
For a conserved settlement, payer debit = recipient credit + protocol fee. Settlement is final; an unsettled request is not a completed movement.
The trade
The seller receives 100% of the listed subtotal. The buyer pays that subtotal plus the separately disclosed processing toll. No additional Foinse software or account fee is added.
