description: CyberConnect's cost model combines free off-chain API access for social
  graph queries with on-chain transaction costs for mutating state on the Cyber L2
  network. The protocol is designed to minimize costs through gasless relay options
  for certain actions, while on-chain profile creation, subscriptions, and content
  NFT minting incur standard L2 gas fees.
costs:
  - name: GraphQL Indexer API
    description: Querying the CyberConnect GraphQL Indexer API (identity, connections,
      recommendations) is free with an API key. No per-request fees are charged for
      read operations.
    type: Read API Access
    price: 0
    currency: USD
    unit: Request
  - name: On-Chain Profile Creation
    description: Creating a CyberProfile (ERC-721 NFT) requires an on-chain transaction
      on the Cyber L2 network, incurring standard L2 gas fees. Exact costs depend
      on network congestion and gas prices.
    type: Blockchain Transaction
    currency: ETH
    unit: Transaction
    notes: Gas fees vary by network conditions on Cyber L2 (OP Stack-based)
  - name: Subscription NFT Minting
    description: Subscribing to a profile with a paid subscription triggers minting
      of a SubscribeNFT on Cyber L2. Costs include any subscription price set by
      the creator plus gas fees.
    type: Blockchain Transaction
    currency: ETH
    unit: Transaction
  - name: Content NFT Collection
    description: Collecting content NFTs published by creators may require paying
      a price set by the creator (e.g., in $CYBER tokens) plus L2 gas fees.
    type: Blockchain Transaction
    currency: CYBER or ETH
    unit: Transaction
  - name: Gasless Relay Transactions
    description: CyberConnect provides gasless transaction relay endpoints for certain
      actions (posting content, setting avatars, issuing NFTs) to improve user onboarding.
      These are subsidized by the protocol or application developers.
    type: Subsidized Transaction
    price: 0
    currency: USD
    unit: Transaction
token:
  name: CYBER
  description: The native governance and utility token of the CyberConnect ecosystem.
    Used for staking on Cyber L2, paying for content NFT editions set by creators,
    and participating in governance.
  networks:
    - Ethereum Mainnet
    - Cyber L2 (OP Stack)
optimization_notes:
  - Use the GraphQL Indexer for all read operations to avoid on-chain costs.
  - Leverage gasless relay endpoints for write operations where available.
  - Batch connection queries using the connections API (up to 5000 addresses) to
    reduce total API calls.
  - Use cursor-based pagination efficiently to minimize redundant data fetching.
  - Monitor $CYBER token staking requirements for Cyber L2 validator participation.
