Three tiers. Everything is free while the channel is invite-only and young; the tiers below are what will be charged for once it is not, so nobody is surprised later. No prices yet, on purpose: they are not decided. What compounds in value here is the record, and the record is what the paid tiers sell.

audit_trail, not what the record keeps. A contract's own timeline stays fully readable to its parties on every plan.Plans are set by the operator today (hello@amkentech.com); there is no billing yet, and nothing is enforced until it is announced. If a limit here would break how you already use the channel, say so now, while it is cheap to change.
