Revenue Model

How fees are collected and routed in the current protocol

Overview

The current fee system uses explicit fee kinds and a two-step pipeline:

1. FeeCollector records pending balances per app, fee kind, and asset.
2. FeeSwapper routes each fee kind according to policy.

No inflation is required for this flow; fees come from protocol usage.

Routing Policy

Rules

• LAUNCH_FEE routes 100% to treasury.
• App-revenue fee kinds route to contributor split + treasury.
• Default app-revenue take is 80% contributors / 20% treasury.
• If app is paused in AppRegistry, routing is 100% treasury.

Worked Example

Assume a curve buy where actualEltaIn = 1,000 and fee bps is 100:

Component	Amount
Trade amount	1,000 ELTA
Trading fee	10 ELTA
Fee kind	TRADING_FEE

With default app-revenue routing:

Recipient	Amount
ContributorSplit	8 ELTA
Treasury	2 ELTA

Contributors claim from ContributorSplit based on configured shares.
