# Pricing Tiers

There is one standard verification for all non-custodial Providers, however, pricing for this package depends on the USD value of the total Staked Value or AUM of the Provider.

The pricing is scaled to ensure that the smallest players are not outpriced and to allow fair entry for all, regardless of their scale. 

This also helps regarding stake decentralization as the smallest Providers can now compete with the largest providers on one standardized playing field (outside of commission, brand, and reputation).
