Your Ready X account is a smart contract deployed onchain.
In most cases, Ready subsidizes the deployment fee. If the fee cannot be subsidized, you may need to pay the network fee required to deploy your account.
Does Ready profit from this fee?
No. The fee is paid to the Starknet network to cover the onchain deployment of your account. Ready does not profit from it.
How is the fee paid?
If a deployment fee is required, it is paid from your Ready X account balance when you make your first outgoing transaction.
You can pay the fee using ETH or STRK.
How much is the fee?
The exact amount depends on current Starknet network fees and will be shown in Ready X before you confirm the transaction.
Is it a recurring fee?
No. Account deployment is a one-time action. Once your account has been deployed, you will not need to pay a deployment fee for it again.
