Fee Structure
Fees are automatically deducted from the pool rewards each epoch, prior to delegator distribution.
Fixed fees are set at the protocol minimum of 340 ₳ per epoch. Variable fees are currently set to 1%. An increase to no more than 2.5% is being considered after Cardano parameter changes. These fees support continued service growth, operational expenses, and enterprise platform costs.
