# Near Intents Revenue Methodology

## 1. Overview

Revenue measures the portion of fees that Near Intents retains, as determined by its take rate. This metric represents the income earned by the project from facilitating intent-based swaps before the deduction of operating expenses or token incentives. For Near Intents, this value is currently set to zero. This indicates that the protocol has not activated a fee switch, and all fees generated by user interactions are distributed to supply-side participants.

## 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 assignment

- **Purpose**: To define the protocol's share of fees collected from transactions.
- **Logic**: Revenue for Near Intents is hardcoded to zero. This reflects the current economic state where no protocol take rate is applied to swaps facilitated by the intent-based architecture. All collected fees are categorized as supply-side fees rather than protocol revenue.

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