Atlas implements a transparent fee model. When vaults generate protocol revenue, it accrues to the treasury and can be used to fund protocol development, operations, and security.

​
Fee Structure

​
Vault Performance Fees

When trading vaults generate profits, a performance fee may be charged. How fees are allocated is governed by protocol parameters and may change over time.

Revenue Distribution

​
Weekly Distribution Cycle

  1. Fees Accumulate: Vault performance fees are collected in the treasury
  2. Conversion: Vault tokens are redeemed to USDC via EasySwapper
  3. Allocation: Funds can be allocated according to governance decisions

​
Real Yield vs Inflationary Rewards

​
Atlas Approach

  • ✅ Fees accrue in USDC from actual protocol revenue
  • ✅ No token inflation or dilution required for fee collection

​
Typical DeFi Approach

  • ❌ Rewards paid in newly minted governance tokens
  • ❌ Token inflation dilutes all holders
  • ❌ “APY” is circular token printing
  • ❌ Rewards decrease in value over time

FAQ

Q: Can the fee percentages change? A: Fee parameters are controlled by governance and can be adjusted through proposals. Q: What happens if vaults don’t generate profits? A: No performance fees are charged on losses, so no protocol revenue is generated during unprofitable periods.
