Fact1inchENS (Ethereum Name Service)
PricingSnapshot1inch's fee help article and Terms of Use state no swap-fee percentage; its infrastructure-fee FAQ gives a range (last sentence). Its help article "Do I pay fees when using 1inch?" (help.1inch.com, written 5 March 2026, fetched 30 September 2026) names three possible costs. Gas: "In the Swap interface, you usually do not pay gas fees—they are covered by the resolvers who fill your order", but "Swaps involving the Solana network or from native tokens will include gas fees charged to the user", as do Pro-interface (DEX-aggregator) swaps. Swap surplus: positive slippage is kept at "the API-provider level (operated by 1inch Business)". Infrastructure fees: "Certain swaps may include infrastructure fees, which are charged when you use the service"; the taker covers them in the Swap interface and for limit orders, and the user pays them on routes through the DEX aggregator. The 1inch.com Terms of Use (Last updated: 14 September 2026) describe them as "software infrastructure fees charged contemporaneously with your use of the service". No rate is stated on either page. The infrastructure-fee FAQ at business.1inch.com (fetched 30 September 2026) gives the range: "All 1inch interfaces or channels (dApp, Wallet and others using the API) may incur infrastructure fees in the following ranges: 0–5 bps for stable pairs and 0–30 bps for non-stable pairs."ENS documentation FAQ (docs.ens.domains/faq, fetched 30 September 2026): "5+ character .eth names: $5 in ETH per year. 4 character .eth names: $160 in ETH per year. 3 character .eth names: $640 in ETH per year." The fee is paid in ETH at registration and renewal, plus Ethereum gas, and "There is no maximum registration duration." After expiry there is a 90-day grace period, then a 21-day temporary-premium Dutch auction before anyone can register the name (ETH Registrar docs, same date). No other platform fee appears on the pages read.

Score dimensions
weights sum to 86
The published score is five dimensions, each weighted for the category. "Published criteria" is the criteria block above; the other four are the engine's own terms — availability, friction, trust record, measured data. Each bar is one side's points out of that dimension's maximum; the weight beside the name is its points of the 86-point weighted total. The published criteria above can fill 24 of the block’s 30. A weight marked “constant here” belongs to a dimension every ranked product in the category holds at the same value: it still counts in the total, and it orders nothing here.
