# Subnet DAOs and resource fees

The Skynet protocol establishes dependable computation periods, serving as a critical feature for pricing of Compute, GPU and Storage resources.  

The Subnet DAO uses this base mechanism to calculate the actual prices for resources consumed on the subnet, plus any additional percentage/margin the Subnet DAO defines.

In order to ensure stable pricing over the time that resources are being consumed and account for fluctuations in the dollar value of the $SKY token, ninety percent of the compute fees paid by enterprises, developers, and consumers are converted into USDT, with the remaining ten percent allocated to the Skynet token.
