Pricing
Each node sets its own per-token price; you pay what the matched node quotes. The protocol takes a flat 5% — no other fees. ($QAIS is not yet traded on any exchange — acquisition is via direct OTC arrangement only.)

protocol fee
Where the 5% goes
60% — operations
Retained by the protocol treasury for hosting, gas, grants, and incentives.
20% — stakers
Paid pro-rata to node operators who stake $QAIS and secure the network.
20% — burned
Permanently removed from the fixed 1B supply — the token is deflationary.
Batched = cheap
A credit session settles thousands of calls in one transaction, so per-call gas is effectively zero.
