Pools Fees
Mezo Pools employs a dynamic fee model optimized for different trading pairs:
Standard Fee Rates
Section titled “Standard Fee Rates”- Volatile Pools: 0.30%
- Stable Pools: 0.05%
Custom Pool Fees
Section titled “Custom Pool Fees”Some pools may have custom fee rates set by governance. These special rates are typically applied to:
- Strategic partnership pools
- Promotional pools during launch periods
- High-volume institutional trading pairs
How Fees Are Collected
Section titled “How Fees Are Collected”When a trader executes a swap through a Mezo Pool:
- Fee Deduction: The fee is automatically deducted from the input token amount.
- Example: Swapping 1,000 MUSD in a stable pool deducts 0.5 MUSD as a fee.
- Immediate Segregation: Collected fees are instantly transferred to a dedicated PoolFees contract.
- Fees never mix with the pool’s core liquidity reserves
What tokens are fees paid in?
Section titled “What tokens are fees paid in?”Fees are always collected in the token being sold (input token) during each swap. As an LP, you earn fees in both tokens of the pair:
- When traders swap Token A → Token B, fees are collected in Token A
- When traders swap Token B → Token A, fees are collected in Token B
- You accumulate and can claim fees in both tokens based on your pool share
Example: In a MUSD/tBTC pool:
- Trader swaps MUSD → BTC: MUSD collected as fees (for all LPs)
- Trader swaps BTC → MUSD: BTC collected as fees (for all LPs)
- As an LP, you earn a share of both the MUSD and BTC fees
Claiming Your Fees
Section titled “Claiming Your Fees”- Navigate to your position in the Mezo Pools interface
