name: SuperRare FinOps
description: SuperRare's financial model is based on marketplace transaction fees rather than API subscription pricing. There are no publicly documented API access fees. Costs arise from Ethereum gas fees for on-chain interactions (minting, bidding, settling auctions) and optional third-party RPC provider fees for production-grade blockchain access.
