Here are all the costs and fees you might encounter while playing CryptoKitties. Costs - Buying a cat. (Price varies.) - Hiring a sire for your cat. (Price varies.) - Breeding. (0.008 ETH)* Fees
- Sales fee. When you successfully sell or sire a cat, 3.75% of the sale goes to developers. - Gas fees*. These are transactions fees. Every time you initiate a transaction with the blockchain, you have to pay the ethereum miners to complete the task. These are the transactions that will incur gas fees: • Buying a cat / hiring a sire. • Breeding. • Putting a cat up for auction (sell or sire). • Taking a cat down from auction (sell or sire). [Note: If you cat doesn’t sell, it will stay up for auction until you take it down.] The gas fee is shown before you submit a transaction. It is roughly between $0.30 - $3.00 (depending on ethereum blockchain traffic). * The breeding fee was initially 0.001 ETH. When the game went viral, the developers had to raise the fee because, due to the mechanics of creating a kitten, the breeding fee has to be higher than gas fees in order for kittens to be born. Once the ethereum network can handle a high volume of users (they’re currently working on their capacity), the gas fees will drop and the breeding fee will be lowered. * Gas fees are also high right now due to the volume of transactions on the blockchain. These should go down dramatically once the ethereum blockchain scales.
