# 3.2. Project Operating Expenses Borne by the Subscriber

In the initial stage of the project and while the native 4IR Blockchain Protocol is being developed, transaction fees may apply on the Ethereum network. Those fees will be borne by the eCitizen or 4IR Tokens' subscriber (the "Subscribers") on any transactions. Once the native 4IR Blockchain Protocol is launched, those fees can change.
