Byreal’s 80/20 Swap Fee Split, Explained

Byreal’s fee schedule allocates 80% of each pool’s swap fees to liquidity providers and 20% to its Treasury. The split applies across its pools, but the fee rate varies by pool, and a trader’s total cost can include other charges.

• 80% of a pool’s swap fee goes to liquidity providers.
• 20% goes to the Byreal Treasury.
• The pool’s fee tier determines the size of the fee.

These shares divide the pool fee; they do not mean that 20% of the amount you swap goes to the Treasury. To understand your full bill, including network costs and how the route affects execution, see what a Byreal trade costs. The split matters most when you compare what traders pay with what liquidity providers may earn.

What does the 80/20 split apply to?

The split applies to the trading fee collected by each Byreal liquidity pool, not to the trade’s full value. A pool sets a fee tier, which is the percentage charged on a swap using that pool’s liquidity.

For a simple illustration, imagine a pool charges 0.10% on a $1,000 swap. The pool collects $1: $0.80 is allocated to providers and $0.20 to the Treasury. That example shows the arithmetic, not a fixed Byreal rate; the rate depends on the pool involved.

If a route uses more than one pool, each pool’s own fee tier affects the cost. The 80/20 allocation describes how a Byreal pool’s collected fee is divided; it does not describe every possible charge on a routed trade. Solana network fees are separate, and Byreal says it does not add a platform trading fee.

How do liquidity providers earn their share?

Liquidity providers earn from the 80% share when swaps use the liquidity they have supplied. Byreal uses concentrated liquidity: providers choose a price range for their tokens, rather than supplying liquidity across every possible price.

A provider’s share depends on how much active liquidity they contribute around the price where trades happen. A narrow range can concentrate capital and earn a larger share while the market price stays inside it. If the price moves outside that range, the position stops earning swap fees until the price returns.

That creates a trade-off. A wider range can stay active through more price movement, but spreads capital across more prices; a narrower one can put more capital to work near the current price, but may go inactive sooner. Fees are only one part of the result: token price changes can leave a position worth less than simply holding the deposited tokens.

The 80% figure is therefore a pool-wide allocation, not a promised return to each provider. Your actual earnings depend on trading through the pool, your share of active liquidity, and how long your position remains in range. Incentives, if offered for a pool, are separate from the swap fee split.

What should you check before swapping or providing liquidity?

Before swapping, check the fee shown for the route and the expected amount you will receive. The rate can differ between pools, while price impact—the change in price caused by your trade—can affect the result even when the fee tier is low. Include network fees in your comparison.

Before providing liquidity, check the pool’s fee tier and choose a price range you can monitor. A high fee tier may collect more per swap, but it does not ensure more trading or greater earnings. A position outside its range earns no swap fees while it is inactive.

For most traders, the useful comparison is the final quoted amount after fees and price impact, not the Treasury’s share by itself. For providers, the 80% allocation explains where pool fees go, while the range and trading activity determine how much of those fees their position can earn.
