Protocol Fee Distribution

Definition

Protocol fee distribution refers to the systematic method by which transaction fees, interest payments, or other revenue generated by a decentralized protocol are allocated among its participants. This often includes rewarding liquidity providers, stakers, governance token holders, or a protocol treasury. The design of these distribution models is critical for incentivizing participation, maintaining network security, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the protocol. It directly influences the economic alignment of stakeholders.
