Swap Fees

(Fee allocation subject to change before mainnet launch)

XenDEX uses the Constant Product Market Maker (CPMM) model to ensure a fair, efficient, and decentralized trading experience.


Total Trading Fee

A 0.25% trading fee is applied to all swaps on XenDEX. This fee is automatically distributed as follows:


Fee Allocation

šŸ”¹ Lquidity Providers - 84% (0.21%)

  • Purpose: Rewards users who provide liquidity to XenDEX pools, ensuring deep liquidity and a seamless trading experience.

  • Allocation: 0.21% of each trade is distributed proportionally to liquidity providers based on their share in the pool.

šŸ”¹ Governance Token Buybacks ā€“ 12% (0.03%)

  • Purpose: Supports the value of the governance token ($DEX) through a buyback and burn mechanism.

  • Allocation: 0.03% of each trade is used to buy back and burn $DEX tokens, reducing circulating supply and enhancing token value for holders.

šŸ”¹ Protocol Treasury ā€“ 4% (0.01%)

  • Purpose: Covers operational expenses, security audits, marketing, and ongoing development to ensure platform sustainability.

  • Allocation: 0.01% of each trade is directed to the treasury for platform maintenance and future upgrades.


Example Calculation

šŸ”¹ Fee Deduction: The 0.25% trading fee is deducted from the input token during each swap.

  • For example: Swapping 100 units of Token A for Token B incurs a 0.25 Token A fee, leaving 99.75 Token A to be exchanged for Token B.

šŸ”¹ Fee Distribution:

  • Liquidity Providers: 0.21 Token A (84%) is distributed among LPs.

  • Governance Token Buybacks: 0.03 Token A (12%) is converted to $DEX and burned.

  • Protocol Treasury: 0.01 Token A (4%) is directed to the treasury.


Network Fees

  • X1 Blockchain Fees: In addition to the trading fee, transactions incur minimal network fees in $XN, typically ranging from 0.0001 to 0.001 $XN, paid to the X1 blockchain for transaction processing. Ensure your wallet has sufficient $XN to cover these fees.
