Fees & rewards
Fees on the ClearPortX DLMM exchange consist of a base fee plus a dynamic fee. This page explains the flow of every basis point collected.
Fee composition
Section titled “Fee composition”The total fee rate on a swap is:
The base fee is a fixed parameter set at pool creation. The variable fee scales with realized volatility — see Dynamic fees for the full formula.
Fee distribution
Section titled “Fee distribution”Every fee dollar splits between liquidity providers and the protocol:
| Destination | Share | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| LPs in the crossed bins | 95% | Direct payment to liquidity providers, pro-rata by bin share |
| Protocol treasury | 5% | Funds CPX staker revenue, ongoing development, security audits |
The protocol share is configurable per pool up to a hard cap. Most pools use 5% by default.
LP claim flow
Section titled “LP claim flow”Fees accrue to LP positions automatically as swaps occur. To claim them, navigate to the Positions tab and click Claim fees on any position. Fees are paid in the tokens that the swapper provided — so a CC/cBTC pool LP receives a mix of CC and cBTC depending on which direction trades flowed.
CPX staker revenue
Section titled “CPX staker revenue”The 5% protocol share flows to the CPX staking module, where it is distributed pro-rata to sCPX holders. See CPX Staking · Overview for the full flow.
