Fees & Revenue

Platform Fee Structure

Every trade on CLIQI incurs a platform fee, automatically deducted during the swap:

User Tier	Fee Rate	Basis Points
Free	1% per trade	100 bps
Premium ($25/mo)	0.5% per trade	50 bps

Fee Collection by Chain

Solana

Fees are collected natively via Jupiter's platformFeeBps parameter:

1. Fee percentage passed directly to Jupiter swap API

2. Jupiter automatically splits the output: user receives trade amount, treasury receives fee

3. No separate transaction needed — fee is atomic with the swap

4. Treasury wallet: configured via TREASURY_WALLET_SOLANA env var

Base — ETH Mode

Fees are deducted from the input amount before the swap:

1. Calculate fee: fee = amountIn * feeRate

2. Reduce swap amount: swapAmount = amountIn - fee

3. Execute swap with reduced amount

4. After successful swap, transfer fee to treasury in a separate transaction

5. Treasury wallet: configured via TREASURY_WALLET_BASE env var

Base — USDC Gasless Mode

Fees are handled through the 0x affiliate fee mechanism:

1. 0x Gasless API accepts an affiliate fee parameter

2. Fee deducted from USDC input pre-swap

3. Treasury receives USDC directly — no gas needed for fee transfer

4. User doesn't need ETH at all (gas is sponsored by 0x)

Base — Sell Trades

Fees are collected from the swap output:

1. Swap executes: tokens → ETH/USDC

2. Calculate fee from output received

3. Transfer fee to treasury wallet

4. User receives output minus fee

Fee Tracking

Every trade record includes a platformFee field:

{
  "id": "clx...",
  "action": "BUY",
  "amountIn": "0.01",
  "amountOut": "42000",
  "platformFee": 0.0001,
  "chain": "BASE"
}

The admin dashboard aggregates fee revenue in USD using the formula:

SUM((platform_fee / amount_in) * amount_in_usd)

This converts chain-native fee amounts (SOL, ETH) to USD for unified reporting.

Treasury Wallets

Chain	Env Variable	Receives
Solana	TREASURY_WALLET_SOLANA	SOL fees from Jupiter swaps
Base	TREASURY_WALLET_BASE	ETH fees from buys, USDC from gasless

A separate private key (TREASURY_WALLET_BASE_PRIVATE_KEY) is used to sponsor gas for USDC sell transactions on Base.

Revenue Dashboard

The admin endpoint (GET /api/admin/stats) provides real-time revenue metrics:

• Trading fees (USD): Total and per-chain breakdown

• Premium revenue (USD): Total subscriptions, per-chain payment breakdown

• Time range filtering: Today, week, month, all, or custom date range

All values are normalized to USD for consistent reporting regardless of the chain's native currency.
