Costs and network fees

Understand the Crypto network, Fiat provider, DEELO service, and optional review estimates before creating or confirming a Project action.

How payments are handled

Crypto and Fiat projects use separate payment processes. For crypto payments, users control their wallets and DEELO does not hold user crypto funds. Fiat means provider-processed payments in ordinary currency, such as supported credit or debit card payments and, where available, supported bank-payment methods. DEELO is not a bank, payroll provider, or crypto exchange.

Estimate costs before creating a Project

The Pricing calculator provides a planning estimate without requiring an account, Project, wallet connection, or card details. Crypto and Fiat use separate payment processes. DEELO does not hold user crypto funds and is not a bank, payroll provider, or crypto exchange.

Information used by the calculator

  • Total Project amount in AUD and the number of milestone deliverables.
  • Domestic or international card origin for the Fiat estimate.
  • Expected Reviewer dispute number and Expected Escalated dispute number, when a review-cost scenario is useful.
  • Reviewer and Escalated dispute numbers are independent. Each is capped only by the Project milestone count.

DEELO service fee during the controlled beta

The current DEELO platform service fee is $0.00. Provider, network, conversion, payout, refund, tax, and optional external review costs are separate and may still apply.

Crypto network-cost planning

  • The base planning count is one token approval when needed, one funding action, and one release action per milestone.
  • The current reference uses 1 gwei, 100,000 gas units per action, and $2,688.70 per ETH, reviewed 28 July 2026.
  • The actual gas fee may be lower or higher because network demand, transaction complexity, and ETH value change.
  • The wallet quote shown at confirmation is the final network-fee estimate for that action.
  • Geography does not change the blockchain network fee. Country and region checks are handled separately for availability.
  • Test ETH has no monetary value. The AUD amount shown during controlled test-network use is a future live-network planning reference.

Fiat payment-provider planning

  • Domestic card: 1.7% + $0.30 reference estimate.
  • International card: 3.5% + $0.30 reference estimate.
  • These are online-card provider-cost planning references, not separate card-surcharge promises.
  • Supported bank-payment methods may use different provider fees and are not included in this card estimate.
  • Currency conversion, payout choices, refunds, taxes, and provider classification can change the final amount.

Reviewer and Escalated dispute estimates

  • Crypto Reviewer dispute planning uses two wallet actions on average: about $0.54 per dispute, with a $0.27–$0.81 planning range.
  • An ordinary Fiat Project Review does not require a DEELO blockchain transaction in the current estimator.
  • The optional Escalated dispute reference uses one Kleros juror at 0.005 ETH, about $13.44 per Escalated dispute, reviewed 28 July 2026.
  • Kleros is not currently an automatic DEELO payment integration or a guaranteed DEELO charge.
  • Kleros court or category choice, juror count, appeals, provider changes, ETH value, and network gas can make an external Escalated Review cost lower or higher.
  • Verify the live external-review quote before choosing this option. A Fiat user may still need a supported wallet and crypto payment if external on-chain review support is chosen.

What the estimated planning total includes

  • The Project amount intended for the Vendor.
  • The selected Crypto network or Fiat provider estimate.
  • The current DEELO service fee.
  • Optional Reviewer and Escalated dispute estimates selected by the user.
  • It does not promise the final Client charge, Vendor receipt, conversion, payout, tax, refund, appeal, or additional external-review costs.

Before confirming or requesting a refund

  • Review who pays each cost and the amount shown for the specific action.
  • Do not approve a wallet or provider action until its cost and refund treatment are clear.
  • Network, provider, conversion, payout, or review costs already consumed by a confirmed action may not be refundable even when Project funds are returned.
  • Keep wallet transaction records, provider receipts, and any review quote with the Project evidence.
