What is a Liquidity Pool Fee?
Definition:
A liquidity pool fee typically refers to the portion of transaction fees or rewards generated from a liquidity pool that is attributed to a participant based on their share of the pool’s total liquidity.
How to Calculate Liquidity Pool Fee?
Example Problem:
The following example outlines the steps and information needed to calculate the Liquidity Pool Fee.
First, determine your share of the liquidity pool. In this example, your share is 5,000 tokens in a pool that totals 100,000 tokens.
Next, determine the total fees generated by the pool. In this example, the pool earned 500 tokens in fees.
Finally, calculate the liquidity pool fee using the formula above:
LPF = TPF × (S / TL)
LPF = 500 × (5,000 / 100,000)
LPF = 500 × 0.05
LPF = 25 tokens
