Dfns · FinOps Profile

Dfns Finops

FinOps view of Dfns spend. Dfns bills a monthly platform fee (from an entry-level Starter plan up to sales-quoted Enterprise) with no AUM or transaction fees; per-wallet cost declines with volume. Cost scales with the number of wallets under management, the plan tier, the set of enabled blockchain networks, and the deployment model (multi-tenant vs. dedicated). On-chain gas/network fees are paid separately by the customer to the underlying blockchains and are not part of the Dfns platform fee.
