<mark style="color:blue;">Protocol Fee and Distribution</mark>

KLEVA's fee revenue is all related to leverage investments as followed:

* Interest fees on borrowing: 19% of the total interest.
* Auto-compound performance fees: 30% of the profits from leverage investment

Fee revenue is not fixed and it depends on the size of leverage investments, however, minimum 50% of total protocol fee is allocated as follows:

* 52.6% of the fee revenue from interest earned by borrowers: KLEVA token Buyback & Burn.
* 33.3% of the fee revenue from leverage investment DEX rewards auto-compound: KLEVA token Buyback & Burn.
* 33.3% of the fee revenue from leverage investment DEX rewards auto-compound: Additional rewards for KLEVA token staking

The remaining 47.4% of the fee revenue from interest earned by borrowers and 33.3% of the fee revenue from leverage investment DEX rewards auto-compound are utilized for protocol maintenance costs.

### <mark style="color:blue;">Interest Income (Depositor's Earnings)</mark>

* Leverage investors borrow assets from KLEVA, and pay interest costs.
* The interest costs paid by the borrowing user are accrued at position closure.
* 81% of the interest costs paid by the borrowing user, excluding a 19% fee, are distributed to depositors as interest income. This means that the interest costs paid by the investor borrowing KLAY become earnings for KLAY depositors.

### <mark style="color:blue;">Investment Profits (Leverage investors's Earning)</mark>

* Profits for leverage investors include distribution earnings from governance tokens provided by the target DEX and trading fee earnings (DEX's profit depends on the policies of the specific DEX).
* 70% of profit from governance tokens, excluding 30% as a fee, is automatically reinvested through the Auto-Compounding system.
* KLEVA token rewards are provided as compensation for lending assets. Since the KLEVA token is a reward for lending assets, it will not be provided without lending, meaning at a leverage ratio of 1.0
* The interest rate for borrowing varies based on the utilization rate of the respective pool. (Check the interest rate variation model.)
* The total earnings for leverage investments are calculated, including KLEVA token rewards.
