# Protocol Earnings **Protocol Revenue & Value Redistribution** The protocol's goal is to make sure the value generated within the ecosystem goes right back to the community. To make this possible, Atlantis collects a variety of fees across both the DEX and Launchpad, all of which are automatically sent to the treasury and redistributed through our reward mechanisms. **DEX Fees**\ Every time a trade is executed on Atlantis, a 0.25% swap fee is charged. 90% of that fee is redistributed directly into the ecosystem as follows: * 55% goes to liquidity providers as trading rewards * 25% is distributed to xAQUA holders via Treasures (as real-time yield) * 10% is used for AQUA buybacks and burns * 10% is allocated to protocol development **Launchpad Fees**\ When a project raises funds through the Atlantis Launchpad, a fee between **1% and 6%** of the total raise is collected and returned to the community via **Launchpad Ranks**, rewarding AQUA and xAQUA holders proportionally. Additionally, **0.5% to 1%** of each launch partner’s token supply is allocated to **Trident Vaults**, where xAQUA stakers can farm these tokens passively. This structure ensures that nearly every protocol interaction, from trading to fundraising, contributes to a self-sustaining incentive loop. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
