# 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.
