Fee Revenue Models
Fee revenue models define how a protocol generates income from its users. Common models include trading fees, withdrawal fees, or interest spreads in lending markets.
These revenues are often used to pay for protocol operations, reward token holders, or fund burn mechanisms. The design of the fee model directly impacts user adoption and protocol competitiveness.
A successful model must be attractive to users while providing sufficient income to sustain the ecosystem. These models are the backbone of the financial sustainability of any decentralized application.
