## FAQ

### Is there a limit on how much can be spent per call?

Yes, every paid call is capped by the DATABROKER_MAX_USDC environment variable, which defaults to 0.50 USDC.

### Do I need ETH to pay for transactions?

No, you only need to fund your wallet with USDC on Base mainnet because EIP-3009 transfers are gasless for the payer.
