Darwin prices the network work first. A Connect application may then add its own disclosed economics without changing discovery or ranking.

​
Ownership

  • Darwin controls seller price, AI usage, and the 0–18% Network fee.
  • The application controls its Application fee or subsidy.
  • The customer approves an estimated total and maximum authorization.
  • Matching and ranking never use an Application fee or subsidy.
Darwin reserves the approved maximum, captures actual billable work, and releases unused authorization. A material increase pauses affected work until the customer approves a new quote.
Fixed and capped-percentage Application-fee policies, immutable transaction snapshots, settlement, and proportional reversals are available today. Fee-earnings withdrawal and automatic payout scheduling remain preview.
