# Provenance stamped 2026-10-07 (roadmap#943): written by an API Evangelist sweep (undated — the file carries no date and git cannot supply one), not
# harvested from the provider. `method: generated` so the economics campaign may replace it with a
# dated, verbatim transcription; every figure below is unverified until it does.
# Coverage demoted 2026-10-07 (roadmap#942, PLAN.md Stage A): this file was written by an API Evangelist
# sweep and names no billing unit, meters or pricing category read from the provider — it restates the
# FinOps framework. It is `x-coverage: unmeasured`, and the FOCUS alignment it claimed has been removed.

    description: >
      The Wormholescan REST API is provided free of charge with no subscription
      fees or usage-based pricing. Wormhole is an open-source, decentralized
      protocol operated by the Wormhole Foundation. Developer tooling including
      the TypeScript SDK, CLI, and Connect widget are all open-source and
      freely available.

  - name: Protocol Transaction Fees
    description: >
      While the Wormholescan API itself is free, on-chain cross-chain transfers
      via the Wormhole protocol incur transaction fees paid in the native gas
      tokens of the source and destination chains. Relayer fees may apply when
      using automated delivery services. The W token powers the Wormhole
      protocol ecosystem and governance.

    notes: >
      Relay provider fees for automated message delivery are determined
      off-chain by individual relay providers and quoted via their Quoter
      services. No fixed fee schedule is publicly published.

      Enterprise pricing for Wormhole institutional products is available
