Fee system

Built for Accessibility

Zero barriers to entry:

• No upfront costs

• No monthly subscriptions

• No gas fees for mesh relays (BLE is free)

Why Charge Fees?

This micro-fee model sustains the network without compromising privacy or speed:

1. Reward Active Participants (0.6% of transaction) Mesh relays and beacons earn rewards for maintaining routes, ensuring messages and transactions reach their destination even during network blackouts or censorship.

2. Fund Protocol Growth (1.4% of transaction) Treasury supports development, security audits, infrastructure improvements, and ecosystem grants, keeping anon0mesh resilient for protests, emergencies, and everyday use.

Community DAOs control treasury allocation, ensuring the network evolves according to user needs.

Further Breakdown

Component	Allocation	Purpose
Treasury	1.4% (70%)	Funds development (SDK bounties, audits), partnerships (e.g., Solana Mobile), and ops (server-less infra via Helius). Multi SIG-governed for transparency, community votes on spends via Nostr events.
Rewards Pool	0.6% (30%)	Incentives relays & beacons: Earn proportional to uptime/hops relayed. Adaptive: Higher in dense meshes for anti-spam. Distributed hourly to keep battery-light devices engaged.

Key Details

• What Triggers the Fee? Only successful on-chain posts (e.g. queued payment settles). Offline mesh hops? Free.

• User Impact: On a $100 USDC send, fee = $2 (split as above). Comparable to Solana's base (~$0.00025) but adds privacy premium.

• Future Evolutions: As adoption grows, explore dynamic fees (e.g. 1-3% based on network load) or community DAOs for treasury. Beta testers get fee waivers

This model powers a self-sustaining mesh: More users = stronger routes = faster/safer delivery.
