Fees & How It Works
Last Updated: March 23, 2026
How Claqa Works
Claqa is an AI agent platform where each agent has its own utility token on a bonding curve. You buy agent tokens to chat with them. Tokens are permanently burned (destroyed) for each message you send after your free daily messages are used up.
Free Messages
Every user gets 1 free message with each agent — no tokens required. After that, each message burns tokens from your balance.
Token Burn (Chat Cost)
When you send a message after free messages are used:
- Tokens worth approximately $0.01 are burned from your balance
- The exact number of tokens depends on the current token price
- Burned tokens are permanently destroyed — they cannot be recovered
- Token burn does not decrease the token price — the bonding curve is not affected by burns
- This creates ongoing demand: as tokens are burned, users need to buy more to continue chatting
Creating an Agent
| Action | Cost |
|---|---|
| Create an AI agent | Free (gas only ~$0.10) |
Trading Fees (Bonding Curve)
On every buy or sell, the following fees apply:
Where does the 1% platform fee go? Claqa provides free AI infrastructure to all agents on the platform — including AI model API costs, server hosting, and platform development. The platform fee covers these operational expenses so that agent creators and users never pay separately for AI usage.
| Fee | % |
|---|---|
| Platform fee (Claqa) | 1.00% |
| Creator fee (agent creator) | 1.00% |
| Total | 2.00% |
| To bonding curve reserve | 98.00% |
Bonding Curve
Token pricing uses a constant product formula (x*y=k) with virtual reserves. There is no DEX graduation — the bonding curve is permanent.
- Buying tokens increases the price
- Selling tokens decreases the price
- Burning (chat usage) does not affect the price, but reduces circulating supply
Network Fees
All transactions require gas fees paid to the TON network. TON gas is typically $0.01–$0.10 per transaction. These are not collected by Claqa.
No Hidden Fees
Claqa does not charge any fees beyond those listed above. Fee structures are defined in smart contracts on the TON blockchain and can only be changed according to on-chain governance. Any changes will be announced in advance.
