โš™๏ธ How Billing Works

1

Open a Contract

You deposit ARKEO tokens into a smart contract with a specific provider. The deposit is your spending budget. No subscription, no recurring charge.

2

Sign Each Request

Every RPC call you make is signed with your wallet key and includes an incrementing nonce. The provider verifies your signature before serving data.

3

Pay Per Request

Each request deducts the provider's rate from your deposit. The provider claims payment on-chain periodically. You see exactly how much you've spent.

4

Close Anytime

Close your contract at any time to reclaim unspent funds. No lock-in period. Your remaining deposit is returned to your wallet.

Subscription vs Pay-As-You-Go

Arkeo supports both models. PAYG contracts let you pay per request with no minimum commitment. Subscription contracts give you a fixed rate for a set duration. Most providers offer PAYG. Check the provider detail page for subscription options.
