What are the fees for using TrueFi contracts?

Pools pay a protocol fee to TrueFi, and an optional portfolio fee to the portfolio's manager.
The standard protocol fee is 50 basis points (0.50%) per annum, accrued continuously and paid periodically by the portfolio smart contract. Read more here for more detail and to see an example.
