description: |
  The Tensor REST, TX, and WebSocket APIs are gated behind an Airtable application
  form rather than a self-serve pricing page. There is no public list price; access
  tiers and rate limits are negotiated per developer. Protocol-level fees (taker fee,
  royalties, AMM mm-fees) apply at the on-chain level regardless of API tier.
