Host Fee Guide

Understanding how fees affect your earnings as a Clore.ai host.

Order Creation Fee — 10-Minute Grace Period

Each order has a one-time creation fee charged to the renter. Previously, this fee was charged immediately when the order was created. Now, it is only charged after the 10-minute mark:

• The renter can deploy, inspect, and test the server for up to 10 minutes

• If the renter cancels within 10 minutes — no creation fee is charged

• After 10 minutes, the creation fee is charged once

This encourages renters to try servers risk-free, which means more orders for you.

How You Get Paid

When a renter uses your server (after the 10-minute trial), the settlement is calculated in CLORE. Your earnings depend on three factors:

1. Your listed price (you set this)

2. Base marketplace fee (always applies)

3. Extra hoster fee (only for non-CLORE payments)

---

Base Fee (All Currencies)

A base marketplace fee is deducted from every rental:

Order Type	Total Base Fee	Your Share (Hoster)	Renter Pays
On-Demand	10%	5%	5%
Spot	2.5%	1.25%	1.25%

The base fee is split 50/50 between you and the renter.

Reduce Base Fee with PoH

Hold CLORE in Proof of Holding to reduce your base fee by up to 50%:

CLORE in PoH	Your Base Fee Reduction
200,000	5%
500,000	13%
1,000,000	25%
2,000,000+	50% (maximum)

Example: On-demand with 1M CLORE in PoH → your base fee drops from 5% to 3.75%.

Extra Hoster Fee (Non-CLORE Only)

When renters pay with BTC, USDT, or USDC, an additional 15% extra hoster fee is applied to your earnings:

Payment Currency	Extra Hoster Fee
CLORE	0%
Bitcoin (BTC)	15%
USDT / USDC	15%

This is the biggest fee difference. A renter paying with BTC costs you 15% more in fees compared to CLORE.

Reduce Extra Fee with MFP Lock

Lock CLORE in MFP Lock tiers to reduce or eliminate the extra hoster fee:

MFP Tier	Max Reduction	Lock Capacity	Unlock Period
Tier 1	30%	MFP × 1,000	7 days
Tier 2	30%	MFP × 4,000	14 days
Tier 3	40%	MFP × 2,000	28 days
All Full	100%	MFP × 7,000	—

When all three tiers are fully locked, the 15% extra fee is completely eliminated.
