# Flow EVM Revenue Methodology

## 1. Overview

Revenue represents the portion of transaction fees that is retained by the protocol after distributions are made to supply-side participants. For Flow EVM, this metric is currently set to zero. While fees are collected from users for transaction activity within the EVM environment, 100% of these fees are distributed to validators as supply-side compensation. Consequently, no portion of the fees is retained by the protocol for treasury accumulation or to offset token inflation.

## 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: Protocol revenue attribution

- **Purpose**: To determine the share of collected fees retained by the protocol.
- **Logic**: Revenue for Flow EVM is hardcoded to zero. This calculation reflects the current economic model of the network, where transaction fees are classified entirely as supply-side fees. All value generated from gas fees is directed to validators to compensate for infrastructure maintenance and network security, resulting in a protocol take rate of zero.

Fee revenue retained after supply-side payouts. Before cost of revenue (e.g. L2 DA fees) and before operating expenses.

Validators process transactions and receive fees from users (supply-side fees).

Flow is a smart contract platform for decentralized applications (a blockchain). Flow was founded by Roham Gharegozlou, Dieter Shirley and Mikhael Naayem and launched in 2019.

FLOW holders own and govern the protocol. They currently don’t take a cut of the total transaction fees paid by users (revenue). Flow’s investors include a16z, Coatue, Coinfund, Fabric Ventures, etc.
