Commercial Terms
Fair, flexible, and aligned
Clear commercial terms. No retainers or hidden mechanics.
FiRA DAO structures commercial relationships to be predictable, flexible, and aligned with delivery.
How pricing works
You pay the team directly for their work, plus 5% to us for coordination and accountability. No salary arbitrage, no hidden markup.
The Model
Team members set their rates based on expertise. You pay those rates directly. We add 5% for assembling the right team, project leadership, and accountability.
Operational Clarity
You engage with FiRA DAO as one contractor, one invoice, one contact point.
Legal Clarity
You contract with FiRA DAO as one legal entity. Team members sign NDAs and commitments like employees would. The difference is compensation structure, not legal protection.
Because we don't pay salaries, we have zero pressure to keep team members billable. You scale based on actual need, not our internal economics.
Engagement pricing
Three simple engagement models
Hourly rate
move lean and shape the product in the market. Best when priorities often shift, feedback drives decisions, or you want to move faster without renegotiating scope.
Milestone-based
if work is already well defined. When a scope is clear and stable, we agree on deliverables upfront and translate them into estimated effort, so expectations around cost and delivery are aligned before work begins.
Hybrid
for businesses that need both structure and flexibility. Larger components or services are planned and priced as milestones, while ongoing iteration, integration, and customer-driven adjustments run hourly.
There is no bundled or “black box” pricing. You see exactly what you're paying for.
Global financial footprint
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
For partners who prefer it, FiRA DAO can accept cryptocurrency payments.
Scaling & commitment
Flexible by design
✔️ No long-term commitment or retainers 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
- ✅ can replace up to 50% of standard delivery compensation
FiRA DAO does not conduct work exclusively for equity.
