      <description>Three pricing models, the gap between flat fees and floating costs, and a method that will not expire. Three pricing models, the gap between a platform's flat fee and the floating on-chain cost, and a way of checking that will still work next year.</description>

      <description>Same function, different names; same name, different behaviour. Read the fields, not the label. The same function carries different names across platforms, and the same name means different things. Read the parameter fields, not the label.</description>
