  Dfns is a wallet-as-a-service and MPC key-management infrastructure provider
  sold to businesses (fintechs, exchanges, custodians, neobanks, enterprises).
  Dfns publishes an entry-level self-serve Starter plan with a 30-day free
  trial and no AUM or transaction fees, then scales up to volume-based Growth
  and sales-quoted Enterprise/institutional plans. Enterprise pricing is scoped
  by wallet volume, supported blockchains, deployment model (multi-tenant SaaS
  vs. dedicated/isolated), SLA tier, and support level, and requires contacting
  sales. Dfns does not publish public per-call/per-API pricing.
notes: >-
  Entry-tier figures are advertised on the Dfns pricing page (Starter around
  $50/month, plans starting around $60/month, 30-day free trial, no AUM or
  transaction fees, per-wallet cost declining with volume, billed via
  Stripe/Lago). Enterprise pricing is contact-sales. Verify tier names,
  amounts, and inclusions against the current Dfns pricing page during
  reconciliation.
