Commercial Terms
Payments, flexibility, and alignment
Clear commercial terms. No hidden mechanics.
FiRA DAO structures commercial relationships to be predictable, flexible, and aligned with delivery — without forcing long-term commitments or opaque pricing models.
Engagement pricing
Simple pricing structures
We work with two primary engagement formats:
Hourly rate — for ongoing or flexible scope work
Milestone-based estimates — for partners who want predictability
In milestone engagements, hours are estimated upfront so scope and cost are clear before work begins.
There is no bundled or “black box” pricing. You see exactly what you're paying for.
Invoicing & transparency
Straightforward billing
Clear invoices tied to work delivered
No hidden management fees
No markup for tools, platforms, or internal processes unless agreed upfront
Our goal is to keep commercial terms easy to understand and easy to compare.
Geographic & payment flexibility
Multiple jurisdictions, compliant structure
FiRA DAO operates through incorporated legal entities in:
- United States (Delaware)
- United Arab Emirates
- Armenia
This allows partners to contract and pay through the jurisdiction that best fits their legal or operational needs.
Crypto-friendly (optional)
For partners who prefer or require it, FiRA DAO can accept cryptocurrency payments. This is an option — not a requirement — and does not change contractual responsibility or delivery accountability.
Scaling & commitment
Flexible by design
No long-term commitment required upfront
Engagements can scale up or down as needs change
Scope and cadence adjust as projects evolve
This allows partners to start cautiously and expand collaboration only when it makes sense.
Alignment models (selective)
Revenue share or equity participation
In some cases, FiRA DAO may align more closely with partners through revenue share or equity components.
These arrangements:
- apply only to existing, revenue-generating digital businesses
- are evaluated case by case
- are capped and structured contractually
- do not replace standard delivery compensation
FiRA DAO does not work primarily for equity and is not a venture capital firm.
What commercial terms are not
To avoid misunderstandings, our commercial model does not include:
- speculative, unpaid work
- “free” development in exchange for exposure
- equity-only arrangements for pre-revenue ideas
- hidden lock-in through proprietary platforms
Commercial clarity exists to protect both sides.
Why this structure exists
Our commercial terms are designed to:
keep incentives aligned with delivery quality
reduce hidden overhead
allow long-term collaboration without forcing commitment
make costs predictable and comparable
The goal is professional execution with minimal friction — not financial complexity.
