# Sui Supply-side fees Methodology

## 1. Overview

Supply-side fees for Sui is set to zero. The share of transaction fees distributed to network service providers is represented by this metric. On the Sui network, 100% of transaction fees are burned, resulting in no direct fee revenue for 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: Supply-side fee allocation

- **Purpose**: Identify the portion of transaction fees shared with network validators.
- **Logic**: Supply-side fees are hardcoded to zero. This reflects the protocol architecture where all gas fees paid by users are burned rather than distributed to validators as revenue. Compensation for service providers is instead provided through staking rewards, which are classified as token incentives.
