Plans, payments and the platform fee

Your plan sets three things: how much of your bots' realized profit you keep, how many bots you can run at once, and how much live capital they may commit in total. Everyone starts on Free.

The four plans

• Free: keep 70% of new realized profit, 1 bot, 1,000 USDT of live capital. No charge.
• Core: keep 75%, 5 bots, 20,000 USDT. 8.8 per 30 days at the launch price (regular 58.8).
• Premium: keep 80%, 20 bots, 100,000 USDT. 88 per 30 days.
• Generation: keep 90%, 50 bots, 800,000 USDT. 199 per 30 days.

Prices are in USDT or USDC. Paused bots count toward the bot limit, and the capital limit counts what every running bot can commit. Me → Your plan shows how many bots are running and how much capital is in use against your limits.

How the platform fee works

A9 earns a share of profit, not of your capital or trading volume.

• Only realized profit counts: a trade must close, and exchange fees are taken off first.
• Each bot has a high-water mark. The fee is charged only on profit above that bot's previous best, so a loss is never charged and a recovered drawdown is not charged twice.
• The share is the opposite of what you keep: 30% on Free, 25% on Core, 20% on Premium, 10% on Generation.
• The fee is worked out every few minutes and added to what you owe. Flywheels are charged the same way.

The amount owed shows on Bots under All time and on Me under Money, with a Pay button.

Paying what you owe

1. On Me, under Money, press Pay next to "Platform fee owed". The Profit earned tile beside it opens the Payments page, with the history.
2. Amounts under 10 USDT are collected once they reach 10; until then there is nothing to pay.
3. Pay it the same way as a plan (below). When it arrives you see "Platform fee settled. New bots are unlocked."

There is a limit on how much may be owed: 50 USDT on Free and Core, 100 on Premium, 200 on Generation, plus 1 USDT for every A9 you hold. Over it, new bots cannot start; if it stays over, your running bots are stopped. Positions are never sold for this: they stay in your account. Pay, then restart the bots.

Choose and pay for a plan

1. Open Me → Your plan → Manage plan, then Choose a plan.
2. Pick the network: BNB Chain (USDT or USDC, BEP-20) or Solana (USDC or USDT). Both coins are accepted at par.
3. Checkout shows "Send exactly" an amount and an address. The amount is unique to you, a few cents under the price, so A9 can match your transfer. Copy both.
4. Send it from any wallet or straight from an exchange withdrawal, on the network shown.
5. Press "I've sent it", or simply wait: the transfer is detected either way, usually within one to three minutes on BNB Chain and under a minute on Solana. You can close the window; you are notified when it arrives. If you have the transaction hash, paste it and press "Check now".

The plan switches on as soon as the payment is confirmed, and bots already running use the new share and limits from their next fill.

Periods and renewing

• A plan lasts 30 days and is paid one block at a time. Nothing renews by itself and there is no lock-in; when you stop paying, you return to Free (or to the tier your A9 holding gives you).
• Paying for the same plan again adds 30 days after the current end ("Extend 30 days").
• There are no coupons, and a period is not prorated.

Payment history on the Payments page lists every payment.

Or hold A9 instead

Holding A9 in the Solana wallet linked to your account unlocks a plan with no monthly payment: 1,000 A9 for Core, 10,000 for Premium, 20,000 for Generation. The tokens are never spent and stay yours to sell; the tier lasts as long as you hold them. If you also pay for a plan, the higher of the two applies. The A9 token guide has the details.

If a payment goes wrong

• Wrong amount: the money is held against that payment and support settles it by hand. Do not send a second transfer. A shortfall of up to 2 USDT from an exchange's withdrawal fee is accepted automatically.
• Wrong network: the same; contact support with the transaction hash rather than paying again.
• Expired: the checkout shows how long the amount is held for you. Once the hold ends, press "Start again" for a fresh amount. If you had already sent money, contact support with the transaction hash.

Common questions

• Which plan pays for itself? Compare the fee difference with the price. On Free you give up 30% of new profit; on Core 25%. If your bots realize more than about 176 USDT of new profit in 30 days, the 5-point difference covers Core's launch price. The larger reason to upgrade is usually more bots or more capital.
• Does a paid plan change how bots trade? No. It changes the limits and the fee share, not the strategies.
