# Protocol Revenue

### **Fee Collection**

The platform generates revenue through fees charged for its usage. These fees take various forms, including:

* Position fee for perpetual trading
* Liquidation fee 
* Dynamic borrowing fee (interest rate for leveraged/perpetual trading)
* Swap fee
* LLP minting and burning fee (LLP = Level Liquidity Pool)
* Accelerated vesting fee (preLVL vesting)\
  (Note: This fee will be distributed equally, with 50% to the DAO and 50% to the LLP.)
