Marketplace Fees

Base Fees

Order Type	Base Fee
On-Demand	10%
Spot	2.5%

The base fee is split 50/50 between renter and host.

Extra Fees (Non-CLORE Currencies)

When paying with non-CLORE currencies (BTC, USDT, or USDC), an additional extra hoster fee is applied:

Currency	Extra Renter Fee	Extra Hoster Fee
CLORE	0%	0%
Bitcoin	0%	15%
USDT/USDC	0%	15%

• Extra renter fees are not reducible by any mechanism

• Extra hoster fees can be reduced to 0% through MFP Lock tiers

Important: The extra hoster fee applies when renting with any non-CLORE currency (BTC, USDT, or USDC). Hosts are encouraged to lock MFP to offset this fee.

Fee Reduction Mechanisms

Clore.ai provides two ways to reduce fees:

1. PoH (Proof of Holding) Fee Reduction

Hold CLORE tokens in Proof of Holding to reduce base fees for both renters and hosters.

Formula:

fee_reduction = round(min(poh_amount / 2,000,000, 1) × 50)%

The reduction scales linearly from 0% to a maximum of 50% at 2,000,000 CLORE:

CLORE in PoH	Fee Reduction
0	0%
200,000	5%
500,000	13%
1,000,000	25%
1,500,000	38%
2,000,000+	50% (maximum)

Key points:

• Applies to both renter and hoster base fees

• Works for all currencies (CLORE, BTC, etc.)

• Does NOT reduce extra fees

• Calculated per-transaction based on current PoH holdings

• Result is always rounded to a whole percentage

2. MFP Extra Fee Reduction

Lock CLORE in MFP Lock tiers to reduce extra hoster fees on non-CLORE currency orders.

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

Reductions are additive and proportional to how full each tier is. When all three tiers are fully locked, the extra hoster fee is reduced to 0%.

Key points:

• Only reduces hoster extra fees (not renter fees, not base fees)

• Each tier contributes proportionally: round(fill_ratio × max_reduction%)

• Only matters for non-CLORE currencies (CLORE has 0% extra fee)

• Calculated dynamically based on current lock balance

Fee Examples

Example 1: CLORE Payment, No PoH

On-demand order, 100 CLORE/day settlement:

Component	Amount
Renter base fee (5%)	5 CLORE
Renter extra fee	0 CLORE
Renter pays	105 CLORE
Hoster base fee (5%)	5 CLORE
Hoster extra fee	0 CLORE
Hoster receives	95 CLORE

Example 2: Bitcoin Payment, No PoH, No MFP Lock

On-demand order, 100 CLORE equivalent/day:

Component	Amount
Renter base fee (5%)	5 CLORE
Renter extra fee (0%)	0 CLORE
Renter pays	105 CLORE
Hoster base fee (5%)	5 CLORE
Hoster extra fee (15%)	15 CLORE
Hoster receives	80 CLORE

Example 3: Bitcoin Payment, 1M CLORE PoH (Both Sides), Full MFP Lock

On-demand order, 100 CLORE equivalent/day:

Component	Calculation	Amount
Renter base fee	5 × (1 - 25%)	3.75 CLORE
Renter extra fee	0	0 CLORE
Renter pays		103.75 CLORE
Hoster base fee	5 × (1 - 25%)	3.75 CLORE
Hoster extra fee	15 × (1 - 100%)	0 CLORE
Hoster receives		96.25 CLORE

With full MFP Lock and 1M CLORE in PoH, Bitcoin payments become nearly as cost-effective as CLORE payments.
