Effective Take Rate

Shows the share of gross fees swept as protocol revenue each week, broken down by pool and displayed as a rolling average.

Use Cases​

This chart helps you:

  • Verify protocol economics: Compare the observed take rate against documented fee splits to confirm the revenue model works as expected
  • Track fee structure changes: Monitor whether effective take rates shift over time due to vault composition changes
  • Compare pool economics: See which pools retain more or less revenue based on their staking/compounding vault splits
  • Evaluate the Overall rate: Understand how the aggregate take rate is dominated by the largest fee-generating pool (Crypto.1)

How to Read This Chart​

Line Chart:

  • X-axis: Weekly midpoints (Wednesday of each ISO week)
  • Y-axis: Take rate as a percentage (0-50%)
  • Colored lines: Each line represents an individual pool's take rate
  • Bold line (Overall): The aggregate take rate across all pools, weighted by fee volume
  • Window toggle: Switch between 1-week and 4-week rolling

Interpreting the values:

  • A stable line means the pool's fee structure has not changed
  • Wider rolling windows produce smoother lines; narrower windows show more recent shifts

Staking vs. Compounding Vault Blending

The official fee distribution documents the protocol share for the staking vault only (e.g. 30% for Crypto Pool, 20% for Meme Pool). The compounding vault typically has a lower protocol share, so the effective rate is a blend of both vaults weighted by their LP composition. For pools where both vaults share the same split (like Crypto.1 at 70/30), the effective rate equals the documented rate. For pools with a more favorable compounding split (like Trump.1 at 80/20 staking, 95/5 compounding), the effective rate is lower than the docs suggest.

Data Source

Weekly pool metrics are pre-computed from daily fee and revenue data. Each ISO week aggregates:

  • Gross fees: Sum of gross_fees_usdc across all days in the week
  • Revenue: Sum of MoveProtocolFees distributions (revenue) across all days

Take Rate Calculation (Rolling Window)

Fees are generated when trades happen (SwapFeeInternal), but revenue is swept later by MoveProtocolFees (every ~6 hours). This timing lag means a single week's ratio can spike above the theoretical maximum when a sweep catches up on accumulated fees from prior weeks. To eliminate this artifact, the chart uses a trailing rolling window:

take_rate = sum(revenue_usdc over window) / sum(fees_usdc over window)

Available windows:

  • 1-Week: Shows raw weekly ratios, more volatile due to timing lag
  • 4-Week (default): Smooths out most timing artifacts while still showing trends

Per-pool and overall rates are computed independently. The overall rate is the ratio of total revenue to total fees, not an average of per-pool rates.

Weekly Aggregation

  • Data is grouped by ISO week (Monday-Sunday)
  • Partial weeks at the start and end of the dataset are flagged and excluded from the chart
  • This prevents edge effects from incomplete data inflating or deflating apparent rates
