# Fluid Lite Expenses Methodology

## 1. Overview

Expenses measures the total cost a project incurs to operate its business, including traditional operating expenses and value distributed through incentive programs. For Fluid Lite, expenses are currently set to zero. This reflects that no on-chain asset incentive programs are active for the product and traditional operating costs, such as infrastructure or contributor compensation, are not recorded within the protocol's on-chain instructions.

## 2. Data sources

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

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Token incentive tracking

- **Purpose**: Capture the value of protocol assets distributed to supply or demand-side users.
- **Logic**: Token incentives are hardcoded to zero. No active incentive distribution mechanisms are identified within the parsed data flows for Fluid Lite.

### Component B: Final aggregation

- **Purpose**: Consolidate all expense categories into a single daily value.
- **Logic**: Expenses are aggregated by summing all identified cost components. As all underlying components for Fluid Lite are currently assigned a zero value, the final metric returns zero for all historical daily periods. Amounts are normalized by decimal precision and converted to USD using end-of-day price feeds where applicable.
