Fee Schedule
Per-operation fees: denomination, payment assets, and committee governance
The fee schedule is a global governance parameter that specifies the cost of every operation on the network. It is managed by the committee via proposal — there are no hardcoded fees.
How Fees Work
- Every operation type has a configurable fee (and in some cases a per-kilobyte component)
- Fees are denominated in SBT but can be paid in any asset with a valid
core_exchange_rate - The committee can update any fee at any time via the proposal system, subject to the review period
- Fee revenue flows to the network's reserve pool and witness pay pool
Fee Categories
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Account operations | account_create, account_update, account_whitelist |
| Asset operations | asset_create, asset_issue, asset_publish_feed |
| Trading operations | limit_order_create, limit_order_cancel, call_order_update |
| Transfer operations | transfer, override_transfer |
| Governance operations | witness_create, committee_member_create, worker_create, proposal_create |
| Custom operations | custom_operation for application-layer extensions |
Updating the Fee Schedule
Fee changes are proposed via committee_member_update_global_parameters_operation wrapped in a proposal_create_operation. Committee members approve the proposal, and it executes at the next maintenance interval after the mandatory review period.
