¹Adding and burning credits have minimum amounts instead of a fee. Adding or burning less than 1 credit is prohibited. ²For 8+ characters. See the sliding fee schedule for the cost of shorter ADIs. ³Creating and writing to a Lite Data Account always costs 0.10 credits. Writing to an ADI Data Account normally costs 0.10 credits. Writing to an ADI Data Account costs 0.01 credits if the data is marked as scratch data. Lite Data Accounts do not support scratch data.

Sliding fee schedule
Short ADIs cost more. The length of an ADI is calculated as the number of bytes of the UTF-8 encoded string minus the .acme suffix, not the number of characters. For example, 屋.acme and abc.acme are both counted as 3 bytes long. The current schedule is as follows:
| Length | Cost |
|---|---|
1 | 4,800,000 credits |
2 | 1,200,000 credits |
3 | 350,000 credits |
4 | 90,000 credits |
5 | 25,000 credits |
6 | 7,000 credits |
7 | 1,800 credits |
8+ | 500 credits |
All transactions incur a 0.1 credit fee per every 256 bytes over a base of 256 bytes. The additional fee is 0.01 credits instead of 0.1 if it is a scratch transaction. Signatures incur a 0.01 credit fee for every 256 bytes over a base of 256 bytes.
Except for send tokens, failed transactions paying fees over one credit will be refunded less than one credit. No refund is made for fees less than or equal to 1 credit.
For send token transactions each failed output will refund 1 credit.
