# Take rate Methodology

## Overview

Take rate measures the percentage of total fees that a project retains as revenue. It is calculated as revenue divided by fees, showing what portion of fees collected from users goes to the project (instead of being distributed to supply-side participants like liquidity providers, lenders, or stakers). A higher take rate indicates the project captures more value from its services, while a lower take rate suggests more value is distributed to ecosystem participants. For example, a 10% take rate means the project keeps $0.10 of every $1.00 in fees collected.
