Fees & protocol revenue
The acquisition fee, the equal depositor split and bounded protocol cuts.
A 10% fee is taken from each acquisition price, currently 0.0420 SOL. The remainder stays with the pool and its depositors. Protocol cuts are bounded and never touch deposited assets.
Where the fee goes
| Destination | Share | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Pool and depositors | 90% | Pool depth and depositor rewards |
| Treasury | 7% | Infrastructure and audits |
| Referrals | 3% | Community distribution |
Equal per acquisition, uneven over time
The depositor share is split equally across all active positions. Every position earns the same amount per acquisition regardless of what it is worth. Earnings accrue as a withdrawable SOL balance.
So a valuable asset and a cheap one earn identically on any single acquisition — but the valuable one carries less weight, stays in the pool longer, and therefore collects across many more acquisitions before it is allocated.
- It keeps acquisitions cheap and rewards small depositors. A modest position earns just as much per acquisition as a large one, which encourages the many small deposits that keep the pool liquid.
- On its own it would scare off large deposits, so the size incentive it removes is added back through a separate, visible mechanism: the top deposit reward.
The risk is duration
Network fees
Solana network fees are separate, paid by whoever signs, and typically a fraction of a cent — around 0.000015 SOL per instruction.
