Revenue

TL;DR

The Vultisig fee system enables plugins to monetize through three fee models: per-transaction fees (charged for each operation), subscription fees (recurring monthly/yearly), and per-installation fees (one-time charges). Fees are collected either immediately or in batches, automatically converted to USDC via DEX aggregators, and distributed with 70% to developers and 30% to the $VULT treasury. The system integrates with the Verifier for TSS-secured automation and maintains transparent revenue tracking.

Overview

The Vultisig fee system is a comprehensive solution for collecting usage fees from app users and managing treasury operations. It supports multiple fee structures, automatic token conversions, and transparent revenue distribution while maintaining the security guarantees of the TSS architecture.
