The model
Feeless at protocol level, scalable by volume.
Feeless means the protocol charges no fee per transaction between collateral lock and final settlement. Network fees therefore do not squeeze the platform model. VlowCore earns on the layer above, through a predictable platform fee.
Three layers
Start in the sandbox, scale with volume.
Sandbox by request
Access to the test environment and API for technical validation. The roadmap shows where each component stands.
Usage-based
Monthly platform fee on transaction volume in bands. Scales with volume.
Annual contract
Fixed license fee with a volume ceiling, dedicated SLA and reporting functionality within the agreed scope.
Enterprise contracts are composed per implementation and can include reporting and compliance functionality.
Enterprise scope
Enterprise contracts are composed per implementation.
The commercial layer remains modular. Stablecoin & RWA settlement can be part of enterprise scope next to integration, support and reporting functionality. It is not a VlowCore token and not a reserve revenue model.
Integration access
APIs, SDKs, sandbox, documentation and connectors within the agreed scope.
Core settlement usage
Use of the core for feeless execution at protocol level and multi-chain settlement.
Stablecoin & RWA settlement
Roadmap module for customer-issued assets backed by currency reserves or tokenized real-world assets.
Enterprise support
SLA, support, reporting and compliance functionality depending on implementation.
Two different things
VlowCore pricing and the fee the customer configures.
These are two separate layers. Do not confuse them with each other, or with a protocol fee.
What VlowCore invoices you.
The platform fee for using VlowCore: sandbox by request, usage-based as you grow and an annual contract for enterprise. These terms are agreed per customer.
What you configure inside your own product.
The Fee Engine sits inside the integration layer and defines the fee model for your own users, partners or participants.
It supports fixed fees, percentage-based fees, minimum and maximum fees, volume bands, and fee profiles per customer, asset, corridor, zone or use case. A fee can be split across multiple beneficiaries.
The calculation moment is not fixed. A fixed fee is known in advance. A transaction-dependent fee is finalised during or after settlement.
Neither is a protocol fee. Feeless remains feeless at protocol level: between collateral lock and final settlement the protocol charges no fee per transaction. Third-party network, routing, bridge, conversion and liquidity costs can still apply.
Fixed principles, flexible terms
Predictable at protocol level, flexible per customer.
Commercial terms differ by customer and can include usage-based components. The principles stay the same: at protocol level you do not pay per transaction, you pay a predictable platform fee, and you move assets without a mandatory network token.
