Revenue Model

Fees

Because the AnyDex model requires no gas fees and has no third-party market-maker or LP fees to cover via a tax, the only fees charged on the platform are trading fees that go directly to supporting the AnyDex ecosystem as pure profit. This provides a sustainable and lucrative revenue model for AnyDex, ensuring a robust stream of income to fund buybacks that support the ADX token price as well as future potential revenue shares.

The user fees are taken from each trade (both when it's opened and closed, just as gas fees would be). However, because AnyDex incurs no gas fees and requires to tax to cover market-makers or LP providers, these fees will:

1. Always be lower than the usual taxes.

2. Always contribute directly to protocol profits rather than covering validator costs and other third-party costs.

Unlike gas fees, the fees will always be a flat rate of 0.1% based on the specific size of the trade. Eg. if you trade $1,000, your fees will be $1, if you trade $5,000, the fees would be $5 and so on. This allows AnyDex to have a model that is both lower cost to the trader and higher profit to the platform simultaneously. The accumulated revenues from protocol fees are divided as follows:

-> 90% goes to buybacks & burns

-> 10% goes to the core team Buybacks-and-burns will be done on a bi-weekly, non-advertised (but proven) basis. In other words, the buybacks won't be announced before they are done, but proof that they have been done will be provided after they take place.

The buy-back-and-burn revenue distribution model will be the key form of fund distribution in the early stages, however once the protocol reaches a sufficient market-cap where buy-backs-and-burns have less impact, AnyDex may shift to a revenue share model.
