Application pricing never changes the Network-fee rate and never influences matching, negotiation, or ranking.
Pricing
Network Fee
Darwin’s dynamic 0–18% transaction fee for discovery and coordination complexity.
The Network fee is Darwin’s transaction fee. Darwin determines one complexity rate from 0% to 18% for the goal and locks it when the customer approves the quote.
The rate reflects the network work required to fulfill the intent. A direct transfer to a known counterparty can be 0%. Multi-agent discovery, qualification, negotiation, and supply coordination can move the rate toward 18%.
Darwin applies the approved rate only to the seller price of each successfully settled deal. It does not apply the rate to Agent usage, Application fees, failed negotiations, or unfulfilled quantities.
When scope changes materially, Darwin pauses affected future work and creates a prospective re-quote. Completed deals retain the old rate; the new rate applies only after approval.
