# Fee The minting of inscriptions and transactions require users to pay a certain fee. ### Deploy Fee To cover the storage costs of Near chain smart contracts and to prevent the proliferation of inscriptions, UniFat has introduced a DeployFee mechanism. ### Mint Fee Inscription creators can set Mint Fees for their inscriptions, such as the first N being free, a charge of 0.001 Near for each inscription from N to M, and 0.01 Near for each inscription from M to X. This serves two purposes: 1. Minting inscriptions on the Near chain is too cheap; to control minting frequency and to prevent the Near chain from being congested, the pricing mechanism aims to distribute inscriptions to as many real users as possible. 2. The fees can be used for inscription incentives and LP addition, which are market-friendly. Of course, 90% of the inscription fees belong to the creators, who have the right to decide the allocation of these funds. ### Bid Fee UniFat allows the deployment of a new inscription only one every 1 hours to prevent an overabundance of inscriptions and to give the Near chain some rest time. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
