# deBridge Liquidity Network (DLN) Supply-side fees Methodology

## 1. Overview

Supply-side fees measures the share of transaction fees that is distributed to service providers within the deBridge Liquidity Network (DLN) ecosystem. For this product, supply-side fees are set to zero. All fees generated by cross-chain liquidity orders are directed to the deBridge Messaging treasury, and no portion of these fees is currently shared with external supply-side participants.

## 2. Data sources

- **None**: This metric is set to a constant value and does not consume blockchain events.

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Supply-side fee allocation

- **Purpose**: To determine the portion of fees allocated to external service providers.
- **Logic**: Supply-side fees are hardcoded to zero. This reflects the protocol's internal fee distribution logic where 100% of the collected fees from cross-chain orders are retained by the deBridge Messaging treasury. No fee-sharing mechanism is active for liquidity providers or other infrastructure participants for the deBridge Liquidity Network (DLN) product.

Bridges

deBridge operates two main products: (1) deBridge Messaging - node operators validate cross-chain transactions for data and asset transfers, and (2) DLN (deBridge Liquidity Network) - an order book of cross-chain intents where Makers create intents in the source chain and Takers provide liquidity on the destination chain. Validators currently do not take a cut of transfer fees (supply-side fees).

deBridge is an interoperability protocol with two products: deBridge Messaging enables decentralized transfers of data and assets between blockchains, and DLN (deBridge Liquidity Network) is a cross-chain token bridge and trading infrastructure. deBridge was founded by Alex Smirnov and launched in 2021, with DLN launched in 2023.

The deBridge team and investors own and govern the protocol. They currently take all transfer fees paid by traders (revenue). deBridge's investors include ParaFi Capital, Animoca Brands, Huobi Ventures, Lemniscap, etc. All fees paid by traders are accumulated on smart contracts operated by the deBridge team and will be governed by deBridge token holders.
