# Fluid Vault Expenses Methodology

## 1. Overview

Expenses measures the total cost a project incurs to operate its business. This includes token incentives paid to supply/demand-side users, core contributors, or investors, as well as traditional operating expenses related to salaries, audits, infrastructure, and service providers. For Fluid Vault, this metric is currently set to zero. This reflects that no token incentives are distributed to Fluid Vault users and no specific operating expenditures are allocated to the Fluid Vault product within the current reporting scope.

## 2. Data sources

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

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Expense assignment

- **Purpose**: To define the operational costs associated with Fluid Vault.
- **Logic**: A constant value of zero is assigned to the expenses metric for all recorded periods. This assignment is based on the absence of active token incentive programs or direct operating cost allocations for the Fluid Vault infrastructure.
- **Key fields**: `expenses` (assigned as 0)
