name: Exactly Protocol FinOps
description: >
  Financial operations reference for integrating with Exactly Protocol. As a
  decentralized protocol, there are no subscription fees paid to Exactly. All
  integration costs arise from blockchain network gas fees, optional RPC provider
  subscriptions, and potential GRT query fees for The Graph subgraph access.
costs:

  - name: Ethereum Gas Fees (Write Transactions)
    description: >
      All state-changing operations on Exactly Protocol (deposits, borrows,
      repayments, withdrawals, liquidations, reward claims) require Ethereum
      mainnet gas. Gas costs fluctuate based on network congestion and the
      complexity of the operation.
    type: variable
    currency: ETH
    unit: per-transaction
    estimatedRange: "0.001-0.05 ETH depending on operation and network congestion"
    notes: >
      Deposit and borrow operations at maturity are more complex and cost
      more gas than simple variable-rate operations. Monitor gas prices at
      https://etherscan.io/gastracker.

  - name: Optimism Gas Fees (Write Transactions)
    description: >
      Operations on Optimism (OP Mainnet) incur significantly lower gas fees
      than Ethereum mainnet, making fixed-rate lending more cost-effective for
      smaller positions.
    type: variable
    currency: ETH
    unit: per-transaction
    estimatedRange: "0.00001-0.001 ETH per transaction"
    notes: >
      Optimism gas costs are a fraction of Ethereum mainnet. Monitor at
      https://optimistic.etherscan.io.

  - name: Base Gas Fees (Write Transactions)
    description: >
      Operations on Base incur low gas fees comparable to Optimism.
    type: variable
    currency: ETH
    unit: per-transaction
    estimatedRange: "0.00001-0.001 ETH per transaction"
    notes: >

  - name: RPC Provider Subscription (Optional)
    description: >
      For production integrations requiring reliable, high-throughput access
      to Ethereum, Optimism, or Base nodes, developers typically subscribe to
      a commercial RPC provider such as Alchemy or Infura.
    type: optional
    currency: USD
    unit: per-month
    estimatedRange: "$0-$500+/month depending on request volume"
    notes: >
      Free tiers available from Alchemy (300M compute units/month) and Infura
      (100K requests/day). Production workloads typically require paid plans.

  - name: The Graph Query Fees (Optional)
    description: >
      GraphQL queries to Exactly subgraphs on The Graph decentralized network
      may require GRT token payment to indexers, depending on the access method
      used. Hosted service queries are free but may be deprecated.
    type: optional
    currency: GRT
    unit: per-query
    estimatedRange: "Minimal GRT fees; varies by indexer"
    notes: >
      Consult https://thegraph.com/docs/en/querying/querying-the-graph/ for
      current fee structures.

  - name: Protocol Borrowing Costs (User-facing)
    description: >
      End users borrowing through Exactly Protocol pay interest rates determined
      by the protocol's non-linear interest rate model. Fixed rates are locked at
      maturity; variable rates adjust continuously.
    type: variable
    currency: varies-by-asset
    unit: per-annum-rate
    estimatedRange: "Variable; determined by market utilization rates"
    notes: >
      Use the Previewer contract's previewBorrowAtMaturity() to estimate
      exact borrowing costs before executing a transaction.

  - name: Protocol Rewards (User-facing benefit)
    description: >
      Depositors and borrowers may earn EXA or esEXA token rewards distributed
      by the RewardsController contract. Rewards offset borrowing costs and
      incentivize liquidity provision.
    type: rebate
    currency: EXA
    unit: per-block
    estimatedRange: "Varies by market and reward configuration"
    notes: >
      Use the RewardsController's allClaimable() method to check pending
      rewards. esEXA can be vested to EXA via the esEXA contract.
