Crypto Fees & Revenue
Users paid $75.45 million in fees to DeFi protocols and other crypto apps over the past 24 hours. Here is who earned it and how much they kept.
Protocols
Fees and revenue over the past 24 hours.
Networks
Transaction fees paid to each blockchain on Sep 29 (a full UTC day), and its share of the 20 largest.
How to read this data
What the numbers measure and why they matter.
Fees
Everything users pay to use a protocol — trading fees, interest, staking commissions.
Revenue
revenue = fees − supply-side payoutsThe part of fees the protocol keeps for its treasury or token holders, after paying liquidity providers and stakers.
Why it matters
Fees show real usage. Revenue shows whether a protocol can sustain itself without new token emissions.
About this page
Fees are what users pay to use a crypto app: trading fees on a DEX, interest on a lending market or commissions on staking. Revenue is the part the protocol keeps after paying liquidity providers and stakers. The protocols table ranks apps by 24-hour fees, with their category, revenue, the share of fees they kept and the 7-day change in their value locked.
Fees show real usage that does not depend on token prices. Revenue shows whether a protocol could pay its way without issuing new tokens. A protocol that keeps a small share of its fees, as most DEXes do, passes the rest to the people who supply liquidity. That is a design choice, so compare revenue within a category rather than across them.
Network fees are a separate dataset: the transaction fees users pay to each blockchain, shown for the 20 largest chains on the latest full UTC day with each chain's share. They are never added to protocol fees. All figures come from DefiLlama. Protocol data refreshes every 3 hours, and the chain series is daily.
Questions
Short answers to what people ask most.
Fees are everything users pay to use a protocol, including trading fees, interest and staking commissions. Revenue is the part the protocol keeps after paying liquidity providers and stakers.
$75.45 million in fees over the past 24 hours, from a DefiLlama dataset that refreshes every 3 hours.
Revenue as a share of fees. 100% means the protocol keeps everything users pay; a DEX that passes most fees to liquidity providers keeps far less.
Revenue is what a protocol keeps for its treasury or token holders. It shows whether the app could sustain itself without new token emissions.
No. Network fees are paid to blockchains and protocol fees to the apps built on them, so the two are shown apart and never added together.
Protocol fees and revenue come from DefiLlama, along with a daily history of the transaction fees paid to each blockchain.
