💸 Fees & Incentives

Fees & Incentives

MALGIST is designed to align incentives between users, strategy creators, and the protocol, without hidden costs or opaque fee mechanics.

All fees are enforced on-chain and fully transparent.


1. Platform Fee

The platform fee supports:

  • Core protocol maintenance

  • Security reviews and audits

  • Infrastructure and monitoring

Key principles:

  • Charged only when strategies are executed

  • No fee on idle funds

  • Fee caps enforced via governance

Platform fees may be adjusted over time through multisig + timelock governance.


2. Strategy Creator Fee

Strategy creators may receive a creator fee as an incentive for:

  • Designing high-quality strategies

  • Maintaining strategy logic

  • Providing clear risk disclosures

Creator fees:

  • Are strategy-specific

  • Must be disclosed upfront

  • Cannot be changed retroactively

Users always see the exact fee breakdown before depositing.


3. Fee Transparency

Before execution, users can review:

  • Platform fee

  • Strategy creator fee

  • Estimated gas costs

No hidden spreads, no off-chain deductions.


4. Incentive Alignment

MALGIST incentives are designed so that:

  • Creators benefit only when users choose their strategies

  • The protocol benefits from long-term usage, not short-term volume

  • Users retain full control over capital at all times

Poorly performing or high-risk strategies naturally lose usage and relevance.


5. Future Incentive Models (Roadmap)

Planned future extensions include:

  • Performance-based rewards

  • Community-reviewed strategy boosts

  • DAO-controlled fee parameters

These will be introduced gradually to preserve system stability.


Summary

  • Fees are simple, explicit, and predictable

  • Incentives reward transparency and quality

  • Governance controls prevent abuse

MALGIST prioritizes trust through clarity, not financial complexity.
