Revenue Sharing

Earn Revenue from Every Trade

The LiquidSwap API isn't just about integrating swap functionality—it's about building a sustainable business. Every swap routed through your application can generate revenue for you.

🚀 Why Developers Love Our Revenue Model

Earn up to 1% on every swap your users make ✅ Keep 97.5% of all fees collected (we keep just 2.5%) ✅ Automatic payments sent directly to your wallet ✅ Bonus revenue from positive slippage capture ✅ No setup fees - start earning immediately


How It Works

1. Set Your Fee

Add two parameters to your API calls:

  • feeBps: Your fee percentage in basis points (100 = 1%, max 100)

  • feeRecipient: Your wallet address to receive payments

2. Collect Automatically

Fees are automatically deducted from the swap output and sent to your wallet. No manual collection needed.

3. Keep Most Revenue

You keep 97.5% of all fees collected. LiquidSwap keeps just 2.5%.


Quick Start Example

# Basic swap with 0.1% revenue sharing
curl "https://api.liqd.ag/v2/route?tokenIn=0x5555555555555555555555555555555555555555&tokenOut=0xB8CE59FC3717ada4C02eaDF9682A9e934F625ebb&amountIn=100&feeBps=10&feeRecipient=YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS"

That's it! Every swap now generates revenue for you.


Revenue Streams

1. Base Fee Revenue

  • Your Fee: Set between 0.01% - 1% (feeBps 1-100)

  • Your Share: Keep 97.5% of collected fees

  • Payment: Automatic, immediate payment to your wallet

2. Positive Slippage Capture

When users get better prices than expected, we capture 50% of that extra profit:

  • With Fee Recipient: You and LiquidSwap split the captured amount 50/50

  • Without Fee Recipient: LiquidSwap keeps all captured amount

3. Volume Incentives

  • Higher Volume = Better Terms: Contact us for volume discounts
