Revenue Model

Protocol Treasury Income

Across most of the crypto exchanges out there, Shorter has one of the lowest fee structures.

Trading Fee

Applicable role: Trader

Per executed order carry a standard fee of 0.3%.

$Trading\ Fee = Notional\ Value \times 0.3 \% \\ Notional\ Value = Size\ of\ Position \times Token\ Price$

Funding Fee

Applicable role: Trader

Position-related expenses such as funding fees keep adding up over time that somewhat daily impact the liquidation prices of the positions every block.

The funding fee to be paid is determined by the following formula on the block $b$:

$f^{Period}(b) = Position\ Size \times Token\ Price \times \sum_{i=1}^{b}\frac{Seconds\ Per\ Block}{31,536,000} \times \underbrace{F}_{Annualized \\ Rate}$

Key takeaway: Cover a portion of the position before the snap point. A smaller position size can provide you with the desired discount on the funding fee.

Proposal Submission Charge

Applicable role: Provider

Charge for the proposal submission of pool creation is levied at 10000 IPISTR every time. The proposer will be marked as the "Power Creator" and innately grab the subsequent staking rewards of the whole pool as the proposal get approved.

Priority Fee

Applicable role: Ruler

When bidding debt or legacy via the console on the Liquidation page, the key factor therein propelling up the success might be the priority fee you pour in. Important to keep a tab. In particular, only 2 rulers participate the Phase 1 of an ongoing liquidation. Total debt is 10000 TRX, you deposit 2000 TRX and 17.5 IPISTR as priority fee, and Tim deposits 10000 TRX without any additional wagers. Finally, you will win 2000 fully whereas Tim can merely take 8000, the remanent 2000 TRX he deposited into the Auction contract before will be withdrawable for him to retrieve.

The TRX price climbed to $0.094 when the bidding is over, simultaneously IPISTR is $0.04. Your final profit for that liquidation participation is $0.094 × 2%(default reward rate) × 2000 - 17.5 × $0.04 = $3.06, which gets you almost a 1,238.4% APY.
