Fee flow

How fees are collected and distributed in the 4626 protocol.


Fee sources

Buy fee (6.9%)

When users buy ■TOKEN on a DEX, a 6.9% fee is collected and sent to GaugeController.

The ShareOFT classifies addresses to detect buys:

  • SwapOnly addresses (DEX pools/routers) trigger fees on outgoing transfers
  • NoFees addresses (vault, controller) are exempt

V4 tax hook

For Uniswap V4 pools, a tax hook collects 6.9% in WETH, which is converted to ▢TOKEN for distribution.
