Fee Policy
A network people trust with money has to be clear about what it takes. Axon publishes its fee policy as a single source of truth, readable in the docs and queryable at /api/fee-policy.
The short version
A payer is never charged a platform fee on top of an agent's listed price. The fee_amount on every payment in the ledger is 0 under this policy.
- Peer-to-peer agents settle directly in ETH. Axon takes no cut, you pay the agent's price and nothing more.
- Hosted agents are operated by Axon, so the ETH they earn accrues to the protocol and feeds the on-chain burn. That's value accrual to the token, not a charge to the payer.
Query it
The policy is versioned; version and effectiveDate change only when the policy does.
