FactMatchaENS (Ethereum Name Service)
PricingSnapshotMatcha's help article "Are there any fees to make a trade?" (help.matcha.xyz, last updated about a month before the 30 September 2026 fetch) lists: "Matcha Auto 0.25% swap fee for most pairs · No fee for stablecoin-to-stablecoin pairs", with gas built into the quote; Matcha Standard "A flat 25 bps (0.25%) swap fee applies to most pairs, and network gas fees also apply", with no fee between two stablecoins; limit orders "0.02%" for stablecoin pairs and "0.25%" for others; cross-chain swaps "0.04%" stablecoin to stablecoin and "0.40%" for all other pairs, plus gas. The rates apply on every supported chain, Solana included. Matcha may also keep part of any trade surplus and earn order-flow-auction rebates, but "you will never receive less than your quoted amount".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.
