Fees

Participation in DVT staking or based applications will require paying fees in the form of network fees. Currently, SSV charges network fees for running validators on clusters, that is, within the context of fees, a one-dimensional structure. The new fee mechanics will create a three-dimensional fee structure for SSV:

Category	Fee	Details
F1 - L1 staking	Fixed per validator	L1 validator network fee, set by DAO to be 1% of Ethereum APR
F2 - bApp participation	Per bApp usage	Each bApp "opt-in" requires an additional network fee
F3 - Tx Fees	Per congestion	Transactions on the bApp chain require fees from the sender

All collected fees from the categories above will either be distributed as rewards to operators or burnt.
