A robust & sustainable fee distribution system is an integral part of any #DeFi protocol 🐸

There exist a few different models, but the two most well-regarded ones are the LP fee model (as adopted by @Uniswap ) & the Vote-escrow model (pioneered by @CurveFinance ) 🧵🔽

🟢The LP fee model (LPs provide liquidity & are issued LP tokens to earn rewards from txn fees generated on the protocol)

✅PROS: Highly sustainable in the long-run.

❌CONS: The native token (e.g. $UNI) has no real utility, & mcap is usually not indicative of protocol usage.

🟢The veToken Model (Token holders lock up tokens (e.g. CRV) to receive vote escrowed tokens in return (e.g. veCRV); holders of these earn a significant portion of protocol fees)

✅PROS: Rewards long term holders w/ the majority of governance power & passive income from proto-

-col rewards, reduces sell pressure in the short term.

❌CONS: Inflationary pressure as tokens are released, meta-governance protocols carry risk of centralisation (e.g., Convex Finance holding majority governance power on Curve), not sustainable in the long run.

So, what is SYNTHR’s strategy for its fee distribution?
