Can the fee change?
On Robinhood Chain the rates are constants in a contract with no owner, so they cannot change. On Arc the rates are read from the Arc Manager, whose owner can adjust them up to a hard cap of 10% per trade. Any change is a public on-chain transaction. Details in Safety and trust.
