# Protocol Revenue & Fees This page outlines how the Avant Protocol generates revenue to ensure its long-term sustainability and continued development. All fees are transparent and clearly displayed on our front end. ## Performance Fees Avant takes a 10% performance fee based on the net profits generated by its strategies. Additionally, a variable performance fee is allocated to the protocol's expert trading partners. This combined fee structure ensures that all parties are compensated only when strategies generate positive returns for users. ## Protocol Treasury The protocol treasury is managed productively in DeFi. Yield generated by treasury capital helps fund the protocol and support ongoing operations. ## Yield from Unstaked avAssets Unstaked avAssets (e.g., `avUSD`, `avETH`) can still generate yield through their underlying asset exposure. That yield is retained by the protocol and contributes to protocol funding. ## Redemption Fees A fee is applied when assets are redeemed. It supports stable protocol operation and liquidity management. The current fee is always displayed on the frontend before you confirm any transaction. --- # 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.
