# Venus Flux 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 Venus Flux, expenses are currently zero. This reflects that the protocol does not currently distribute on-chain token incentives or record other operational costs within its smart contracts.
