# Fees
|
|
|
|
### Path to Sustainability
|
|
|
|
Ocean Protocol achieves sustainability via the [Web3 sustainability loop](https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/the-web3-sustainability-loop-b2a4097a36e).
|
|
|
|
* The project grows and improves through the efforts of OceanDAO grant recipients.
|
|
* The OceanDAO votes to decide which proposals receive grants.
|
|
* Grant funds are sourced from the Ocean Protocol community treasury.
|
|
* The Ocean Protocol community collects fees when users interact with the protocol, thus completing the sustainability loop.
|
|
|
|
### Fee types
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Publish fee
|
|
|
|
Publish fees can be charged to a publisher when they publish an asset.
|
|
|
|
Currently, the Ocean marketplace does not charge a publishing fee. Custom marketplaces can charge a publishing fee by adding an extra transaction in the publish flow.
|
|
|
|
Based on the use case of the marketplace, the marketplace owner can decide if this fee should be charged or not.
|
|
|
|
#### Consume(aka. Order) fee
|
|
|
|
Consume fees are charged when a user holding a datatoken exchanges it for the right to download an asset or to start a compute job that uses the asset.
|
|
|
|
These are the fees that are applied whenever a user pays to access an asset:
|
|
|
|
* Consume Market Consumption Fee
|
|
* Publisher Market Consumption Fee
|
|
* Provider Consumption Fees
|
|
* [Ocean Community Fee](fees.md#ocean-community-fee)
|
|
|
|
#### Ocean Community fee
|
|
|
|
Ocean's smart contracts collect **Ocean Community fees** during order operations. These fees are reinvested in community projects and distributed to the veOcean holders through Data Farming.
|
|
|
|
The provider Ocean Community order fee is 0.03 DT per order operation.
|
|
|
|
These fees can be updated by the Ocean Protocol Foundation.
|
|
|
|
#### Provider fee
|
|
|
|
Provider is a component of Ocean Protocol's ecosystem that facilitates data consumption, starts compute jobs, encrypts DDOs, and decrypts DDOs. The provider also validates if the user can access a particular data asset or service. To learn more about Provider, click here.
|
|
|
|
Provider fees are paid to the individual or organization running their Provider instance when the user orders an asset. These fees can be set to an absolute amount, not as a percentage. The provider can also specify which token the fees must be paid in - they don't have to be the same token used in the consuming market.
|
|
|
|
Provider fees can also be used to charge for computing resources. Based on the compute resources needed to run an algorithm in the Compute-to-Data environment, a consumer can choose the amount to pay according to their needs.
|
|
|
|
These fees incentivize individuals and organizations to run their provider instances and charge consumers according to resource usage.
|
|
|
|
### Fee values
|
|
|
|
The table is periodically updated. Users are advised to confirm new values through the [contracts](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/contracts) and the [market](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/market).
