4.3 Fee Model

The service fees on the SIA platform mainly include:

• Agent Invocation Fee: the fee paid by users each time they invoke an Agent, which is dynamically adjusted based on Agent complexity, resource consumption, and market demand.
• Resource Rental Fee: the fee paid by Agent developers or users when renting computing and storage resources, which is determined by resource type, usage duration, and market price.
• Transaction Fee: a small transaction fee charged for all transactions on the SIA network (e.g., Token transfers, smart contract interactions) to maintain network operation and to reward nodes.

All fees are settled in SIA Token, and a portion of the fees will be used for SIA Token buyback and burning to maintain the Token’s scarcity and value.
