Platform Fee

Platform Fee

A platform fee is applied to both the TVL and Mint fees before they are distributed to recipients.

This platform fee is defaulted to 50%, but can be set per-DTF, and is recalculated and manually adjusted on a monthly basis, based on the following progressive fee schedule table.

TVL	Platform Fee
TVL < $100m	50%
100m<TVL<100m<TVL<1b	40%
1b<TVL<1b<TVL<10b	30%
10b<TVL<10b<TVL<100b	20%
100b<TVL<100b<TVL<1T	10%
$1T < TVL	5%

Example Calculation

A DTF with $3.1 billion in TVL and a TVL fee of 1% would have its platform fee calculated as:

(0.5 * 0.01 * $100 million + 0.4 * 0.01 * $900 million + 0.3 * 0.01 * $2.1 billion) / (0.01 * $3.1 billion) ≈ 33.5%

This means 33.5% of the collected fees would go to the platform, and the remaining 66.5% would be distributed among fee recipients.

Technical Implementation

The platform fee is supplied to DTFs via a Platform Fee Registry contract, which is controlled by the platform owner multisig. This registry also provides DTFs with the current platform fee recipient address.
